Entergy Texas is Ready for Spring Storm Season---Are You?
THE WOODLANDS March 26, 2018 ⎯ The bluebonnets and dogwoods are blooming, which means spring is finally here! While spring can be warm and wonderful, it can also be wild and wooly. Tornadoes, lightning, high winds, flash flooding, severe thunderstorms and even hail can accompany the change in seasons. Extreme weather can also cause power outages and downed power lines. Entergy Texas prepares year-round for these disruptive events and encourages you to prepare, too. “We monitor the weather 24/7, and when severe weather threatens, we mobilize our crews for outage restoration,” said Stuart Barrett, interim vice president of customer service for Entergy Texas, Inc. “Everyone should also have their own plan in place before severe weather threatens. This includes individuals, families, businesses and communities.” Make a Plan, Assemble a Kit First, ensure that you have multiple ways of getting severe weather warnings:
Know How to Communicate with Entergy There are several ways to report outages or downed power lines:
Despite our best efforts to reduce the likelihood of outages during bad weather, storms can be powerful and unpredictable,” Barrett said. “It is a good plan to be prepared and have everything you need in one central location if you lose power, including a way to notify us of the outage. This will help you be more comfortable and will also instill order and safety while our crews restore service.”
