More than 56K customers without power as severe thunderstorms pound the Greater Houston area CenterPoint Energy is tracking power outages No description found
HOUSTON – Power outages are being reported in and around the Houston area as a strong line of storms moves through.
According to CenterPoint Energy, more than 56,000 customers remain without power as of 8 p.m. Thursday.
In a statement Thursday night, CenterPoint said, “Efforts continue around the clock to clear debris from powerlines, make repairs and restore power to impacted areas following last night’s storm. Based on the progress made, we anticipate those currently without power will remain out into tomorrow. Damage assessment, including physical inspection of lines and restoration planning will pick up once daylight returns. If someone in a customer’s home depends on electricity for life-sustaining equipment, we recommend they make other arrangements for tonight. In the meantime, we’ll continue working around the clock to safely restore service. We recognize this experience has been disruptive for many and restoring power remains our top priority.”
