ONCOR

It has been three months since a powerful storm left more than one million customers without power across North Texas.

The clean up continues three months after the May 28 storm brought 90 mph winds to DFW. NBC 5’s Alanna Quillen has the details.

Oncor is looking into what caused a large wooden power pole to fall in Collin County Thursday, damaging vehicles.

Oncor says last week’s series of thunderstorms that wreaked havoc across North Texas was the worst in the utility company’s 112-year history.

Last week, storms left 650,000 customers without power with the majority being in Dallas County. Now an East Dallas city council member is calling on Oncor to investigate what led to prolonged power outages. NBC 5’s Maria Guerrero has more.

A new round of storms on Sunday night boosted the number of customers without power in Dallas County as Oncor worked around the clock to resolve the remaining outages.

Today marks the fifth day since over half a million North Texans lost power due to severe storms. Line crews from across the country have been working non-stop to restore power, but over 30,000 people are still without electricity as temperatures rise. NBC 5’s Allie Spillyards has more.

More than half a million people are still without power five days after severe storms struck North Texas.

For tens of thousands of North Texans, Friday marked another day without power following Tuesday’s storms. While Oncor says it’s restored power to the majority of the initial 650,000 homes and businesses that were knocked out, those still without say they’re growing frustrated, wondering how much longer they’ll be in the dark.

Power problems continue across North Texas. Oncor says about 67,000 customers are still without power and the majority should be restored Friday night. But for people in the worst hit areas, it could be Saturday before the lights come back on.

Oncor says another round of storms overnight Thursday led to more power outages complicating the restoration effort underway since last weekend.

As another round of storms soaked an already saturated North Texas, Oncor said crews working to restore power to more than 100,000 customers were slowed.

On Tuesday, over 200,000 North Texans were without power. Oncor crews are working 16-hour shifts and expect most power to be restored by late Thursday, with some possibly waiting until Saturday. This uncertainty is challenging for homeowners and businesses. NBC 5’s Allie Spillyards reports from Oak Cliff.

Oncor said its crews are working 16-hour shifts to get the lights back on, but they estimate it will be late Friday before most have their electricity restored. In some cases, it could be Saturday.

NBC 5’s Alicia Barrera was in Northeast Dallas, where crews were busy replacing power lines.

Oncor says it could be Friday or Saturday before power restoration is “substantially complete” after devastating thunderstorms early Tuesday morning.

As of Tuesday night, over 400,000 ONCOR customers are without power, down from a peak of over 600,000. NBC 5’s Meredith Yeomans reported from an East Plano neighborhood where residents were waiting for the lights to come back on.

This is a look at hurricane-force winds. Hundreds of thousands across North Texas are still without power. Crews are working to restore power. NBC 5 senior investigator Scott Friedman has more from Plano.

Oncor — which owns the power lines in North Texas — is requesting a second rate increase this year, which is allowed due to a new law approved by the Texas legislature earlier this year
