Thousands of electric customers in North Texas were without power Sunday night as a round of severe storms pounded the region.
As of 1:15 a.m. Monday., Dallas County had just under 21,000 customers without power, according to the Oncor power outage map. In Tarrant County, 16,241 customers were in the dark as well.
About 7,000 were without power in Grayson County and over 6,000 in Fannin County.
Collin County had 4,146 outages, the map showed as of 1:15 a.m. Monday.
Parker, Palo Pinto and Hunt counties combined had about 6,500 outages.
“While severe weather impacts are currently ongoing, Oncor team members, contractors and vegetation management crews have been activated and are ready to respond to any necessary restoration work as soon as weather conditions safely allow,” Oncor officials said in an email Sunday night. “That will include beginning work overnight so long as it is safe to do so.”
The strong line of storms brought winds of up to 70 mph, torrential downpours, thunder and lightning to the region. There were, however, no immediate reports of injuries or storm damage in D-FW.
As the storms swept through the region, they brought the potential for large hail, damaging winds and spin-up tornadoes, according to the National Weather Service.
