Power Outages Plague East Texas After Severe Storms.

Nearly 10,000 SWEPCO customers had their power restored overnight, reducing the number of customers without service from about 160,000 to about 130,000. SWEPCO is receiving help from across the region and nation, with nearly 3,000 utility professionals joining forces to rebuild communities across northwest Louisiana, east Texas, and western communities in Arkansas following extreme weather. However, there has been no change in the reported estimated restoration times for different districts.
