Ice storms that have crippled McAlester, Okla., and left many residents without heat have led a local church to offer shelter to dozens of people.
In the past two days, the town's First Baptist Church has given bed space to nearly 80 people. Now, says church member Wayne Hicks, they're setting up a kitchen.
Hicks says there are gobs of ice on the trees, but the roads are pretty good. Melissa Block talks with Hicks.
