Majority of Entergy Texas customers have been restored after severe rainstorms and strong winds caused widespread outages across the Entergy Texas service area Wednesday morning. As of 10 a.m., less than 700 customers remain without power, which is down from the ~26,000 customers without power Wednesday morning.
Most of the remaining outages are in Port Arthur, which was one of the hardest hit areas. According to preliminary reports from The National Weather Service, an EF-2 tornado with wind speeds of about 120 mph moved through the area early Wednesday—causing significant damage throughout the community.
