STILWELL, OK -- Ozarks Electric Cooperative says their crews are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. 

After 14 days of working around the clock to restore service following last week's ice storm, only 865 Oklahoma customers remain without power. 

Despite a halt in work while a a line of thunderstorms pushed through Monday, crews were able to make good progress throughout the system. 

The National Weather Service is predicting the possibility of more thunderstorms and high winds for Tuesday afternoon and evening. 

Ozarks Electric says those storms hit, restoration efforts may be slowed, but will continue.
