Oncor continues work to restore power for North Texans after severe storms
NORTH TEXAS — Oncor has made significant progress in getting power back on for North Texans following severe storms.
As of Monday evening, around 3,000 Oncor customers in the region are without power. It's a huge improvement from a week prior when more than 650,000 homes and businesses lost power.
The utility company says its crews have been working around the clock to get things back to normal.
In the midst of the crews' efforts, a second wave of storms brought heavy rain, frequent lightning and high winds, which left more people without power.
Oncor voiced its appreciation for all of the assistance it's gotten from utility partners in other states, "especially in the face of such devastating back-to-back storm impacts and extended outages."
Oncor continues to remind those without power to examine their home electrical equipment such as the meter base and/or weatherhead, to make sure they aren't damaged. If they are, "an electrician will need to make repairs and a city inspection may be required before power can be safely restored."
