Much of Oklahoma remained under a freezing fog advisory until noon Monday as the death toll from a powerful, multistate storm climbed to seven.

The storm walloped Oklahoma on Thursday. By Sunday night, more than 79,000 homes and businesses were still without power, mostly in the southwestern part of the state, the Oklahoma Department of Emergency Management said.

The storm had killed seven Oklahomans, the state medical examiner\\\'s office said late Sunday.

-- An 86-year-old man in Yukon died Sunday from injuries he sustained in a fall while shoveling snow on Friday.

-- A 59-year-old Geary woman was found dead outside her home Saturday.

-- A 79-year-old Harmon County woman and a 62-year-old man were found dead in separate residences that did not have power and where the inside temperature was below freezing.

-- Power outages also caused the death of two other people: A 73-year-old Pontotoc County man died Saturday in a house fire after using a wood-burning stove. And a 70-year-old Ada woman died Friday after a propane tank, being used to fuel a generator, exploded at her home.

-- Police responded to 568 storm-related car wrecks, and one of them resulted in the death of a 33-year-old man Sunday whose car veered off a slick road.

The freezing fog advisory signals that light ice accumulation from freezing fog is expected, and that visibility will be limited to a half-mile or less, the National Weather Service said. The advisory extends into the Texas Panhandle.

The storm first struck Friday, stretching from Oklahoma to eastern Tennessee and down to southern Mississippi, dropping snow, sleet and freezing drizzle or rain.

The wintry weather moved east over the weekend, hitting several states, including the Carolinas and Virginia.
