Channel. They also said that 85% of the trees in one city (not sure if it
was K.C. or OKC) were damaged or destroyed.

Here are some updates from the news:
From the AP on 2/5:
"More than 51,000 customers [in OK] still had no electricity, five days
after last week's storm coated trees and power lines with ice. More than
60,000 customers in both Kansas and Missouri were without power.
The storm was blamed for at least 28 deaths as it crashed through the
southern Plains and stretched all the way to New England. In addition to
snow and freezing rain, it blasted the region with wind that gusted as high
as 71 mph in upstate New York. In its first official damage report Monday,
Kansas' adjutant general's office reported $17 million in damage in two
counties alone. A total of 35 counties are requesting disaster assistance.
At the height of the outage, 412,000 Missouri customers were without
electricity, 225,000 homes and businesses were blacked out in Oklahoma and
some 435,000 Kansas residents had no power."
