Austin Energy says that based on current information, they expect to restore power to 'nearly all' remaining customers by Feb. 12. The utility is also preparing for forecasted wind and rain this week.
More than 94% of Austin Energy customers currently have power, but according to Austin Energy's outage map, 29,997 customers still remain without power thanks to 1,381 active outages as of 10:30 p.m. Feb. 5."I wasn’t concerned this time, I was like oh, it’s going to get cold, bring the sensitive plants in, cover stuff and that sort of thing, I thought the roads would get bad," she told FOX 7 Austin. "It didn’t seem like it was going to be a big deal.
"The broadcast was 12 to 24 hours outage, so we were like okay, we can hold off on that, but I have to admit I was skeptical knowing that it was ice," she said. "I thought that was overly optimistic, so we're waiting a little while it got down to about 49 degrees in the house and then it was like okay, we’ve got to break out the heater."
