OMAHA, Ark. -- Ice-covered trees snapped limbs and toppled power lines in this small town between Branson and Harrison. A thick coat of ice is covering everything. For those who don't have generators or propane, some found a free meal and a place to stay at Grace Covenant Church.
Their worries don't end there. Several people are concerned their pipes could freeze. They lost all their water on Thursday morning.
The Omaha Water Company obtained a generator for its well on Thursday afternoon. Mayor Jake Arnold asks residents to be conservative in their water use. He also said a boil order is in effect until tests determine the water isn't contaminated.
