Oncor reporting fewer than 100 power outages remain after Friday storm
NORTH TEXAS (CBSNewsTexas.com) - Oncor is continuing its work on restore power Sunday, as more than 5,000 residents are still without power following Friday night storms.
Data from Oncor showed as many as 125,000 residents across the metroplex were affected Friday evening, as storms rolled through the area. On Saturday morning, there were still about 75,000 residents without power.
Robert Cathey is a viewer who shared the two photos below with CBS News Texas. He got some shots of storm clouds and lightning behind homes in a neighborhood.
Johnson County, TX Emergency Management shared the photo below in a Facebook post around 3:00 a.m. saying it's "seen several houses with major roof damage from CTP over to Alvarado. With power outages widespread its hard to see exactly what we have going on."
And these photos below show broken power lines. They come from electricity provider United Cooperative Services, which services parts of Johnson, Hood, Erath and other counties.
Oncor says its teams are continuing to work as quickly as they can to get power restored, ahead of another hot day across North Texas.
Around 9:45 Sunday night, Oncor said resources will continue working through the night and Sunday to make repairs.
"Due to the amount of trees in power lines and additional damages that continue to be identified, we do not have an exact estimated time for power to return for much of the area," the statement reads. "However, repairs are expected to be substantially completed by Sunday evening to customers that can receive power and were impacted by Friday's storm."
As of 11:12 p.m. Sunday, Oncor reports 32 outages affecting 1,107 customers.
