More than 9,500 power outages are being reported in Oklahoma by the state's two largest electric utilities.

Oklahoma Gas and Electric reports 4,739 outages Thursday morning with more than 1,700 in Arcadia and more than 1,600 in Harrah. Public Service Company of Oklahoma reports 4,817 outages with more than 3,000 of those in Nowata County and about 1,200 in Lawton.

PSO spokesman Ed Bettinger said the cause was not known. An OG&E spokesman did not immediately return a phone call for comment.

Oklahoma Association of Electric Cooperatives spokesman Sid Sperry said there are no reports of outages among the state's co-ops.

The outages come a day after a winter storm dumped up to 25 inches of snow in parts of the state and a night in which temperatures fell below freezing statewide.
