CENTRAL TEXAS (KXXV) — Severe weather that swept through Central Texas left widespread power outages across several counties. Oncor restored everyone's power after the storms that happened on Sunday and throughout the day on Monday. But after another round of storms on Monday night, some customers lost power again.
McLennan County reported 41 active outages, while Bell County was hit harder with 328 outages. Milam County followed with 45 outages, and Freestone County had 10. Oncor says that they do not have an estimated time of restoration for the recent outages, but their crews are on site throughout to ensure the public has power.
The storms, which moved through the region late Sunday night into early Monday, brought high winds, heavy rain, and lightning that downed power lines and damaged infrastructure in multiple communities.
Oncor said crews are working around the clock to assess damage and restore service. However, it should be noted that if storms hit again, this can possibly slow Oncor down.
