Heavy rain, strong winds and lightning from Hurricane Beryl continue to impact the Entergy Texas service area. As of 12 p.m., approximately 201,000 Entergy Texas customers are without power. The majority of the power outages are located in Montgomery, Jefferson, Walker and Liberty counties. More than 6,100 are without power in Galveston County, which includes the entire Bolivar Peninsula.
Weather conditions from the storm has caused damage to Entergy Texas transmission equipment, which caused 17 substations to lose power. Once the storm passes and it’s safe to do so, Entergy Texas crews will begin the official damage assessment throughout the company’s 27-county service area and determine the most effective way to restore power to communities.
More than 500 additional restoration workers are on standby and prepared to assist Entergy Texas crews with restoration. Estimated restoration times will depend on the severity of damage in the area.
