Tuesday’s unexpected storm left many across the metroplex without power. With more than 500,000 Dallasites without power and a combined 755,000 power outages citywide, there is a need for resources throughout the city.
According to WFAA, Oncor has restored power to 340,000 customers. The energy provider is hoping to have energy fully restored by Friday morning.
We know there’s a lot on your mind right now, especially when it comes to resources until power is fully restored. Here are a few helpful ones to keep in mind.
