Muskogee Crews Prepare Resources For Potential Winter Storm
Crews in Muskogee are gathering all their resources as Green Country prepares for the potential winter storm.
Right now, the major roads are OK, but the parking lots and side streets are different story. City manager Mike Miller said this weather doesn t hit Muskogee often, but his team is preparing as best they can. We re not prepared for 12 inches of snow because we don t get it that often, said Miller.
City crews are gathering their limited fleet of snowplows for the weekend ahead. We re going to have all of them on the road as soon as the snow starts falling. Even before prepping the roads beforehand with salt sand and brine,” Miller added.

Colleagues, friends and family members remembered Dr. Yee Se Ong as a well-respected man who gave his life caring for his patients in Muskogee and other parts of rural Oklahoma.Â
Ong, 76, who became the first cardiologist to establish a practice in Muskogee when he moved here in July 1979, died early Monday due to complications related to COVID-19. A database compiled by the Guardian and Kaiser Health News indicates Ong could become the second Muskogee physician to die of the disease while battling the novel coronavirus â Dr. John Robert Oglesbee, 80, died of COVID-19 complications in April.
Jasmine Ong said her father spent virtually every waking hour during most of the past several months caring for COVID patients in the intensive care unit at Saint Francis Hospital Muskogee. She said during most of those hours he should have been sleeping. Â
