MANGUM, Okla. (AP) - Among the more than 3,600 homes and businesses still without power after the Jan. 28 winter storm are the superintendent of Mangum utilities and the fire chief of Altus. Mangum utilities superintendent Terry Warren says he's been told to expect to be without electricity for another month. Warren is
also a former lineman for Harmon Electric Association - which is the company working to restore power.

Altus Fire Chief J.R. Wheeler says his Jackson County home has been without electricity since the storm hit. He says his family is now using a friend's generator to power his house. The state Corporation Commission reports 3,637 homes and businesses still without power and all are served by a rural electric cooperative.
