What to do to prepare your pipes when winter weather hits Oklahoma
SUMMARY: Oklahoma City experienced its first freeze, prompting discussions about winter preparations. Meteorologist Joseph Neubauer emphasizes the importance of winterizing homes to protect pipes and faucets from freezing. David Barnes from Oklahoma County Emergency Management advises homeowners to be familiar with their plumbing systems, including knowing how to shut off water in case of a burst pipe. To prevent freezing, it’s recommended to keep faucets dripping slightly and to insulate exterior faucets. Additionally, opening cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate can further help safeguard plumbing during colder months. Overall, proactive measures are crucial for winter readiness.

Along with New York, Oklahoma, and South Carolina, Michigan will collaborate with community-based behavioral health providers to integrate behavioral and physical health care.

2024 Year in Review: Looking back in Oklahoma's year in politics
SUMMARY: KOCO served as a key election night headquarters in 2024, covering the June primary, August runoff, and November general election. Donald Trump was re-elected as president, winning every county in Oklahoma. The fierce Republican primary battle between Tom Cole and newcomer Paul Bondar stood out, with Bondar losing significantly despite heavy spending on ads. Oklahoma made headlines by reintroducing the Bible in classrooms and eliminating the state grocery tax, a bipartisan success for Governor Kevin Stitt. The state also mourned former Senator Jim Inhofe’s passing, and KOCO committed to thorough coverage of various candidates and issues in upcoming elections.
