Spring Brings More than Just Pollen to Southeast Texas
BEAUMONT March 20, 2019 - Spring can be warm and wonderful, but the change in seasons can also be wild and wooly. The official arrival of Spring also ushers in a host of potentially extreme weather that can bring high winds, lightning, hail and even tornadoes. All these things can cause power outages and bring down power lines. Entergy Texas prepares year-round for these disruptive events. Employees monitor the weather round-the-clock, and when severe weather threatens, crews mobilize for outage restoration. "We encourage customers to prepare, too,” said Stuart Barrett, Entergy Texas vice president of customer service. “Severe weather can develop quickly. Once that happens, it’s too late to start working on a preparedness plan. Advance planning and staying weather aware helps ensure you survive these storms, which can sometimes be deadly.” Here are some safety tips to keep in mind:
Once a storm hits, know how to give and get information if you need help:
“We work hard to stop outages before they happen, but storms can be powerful and unpredictable,” Barrett said. “Being prepared and having everything you need in one central location, including a way to notify us, will help you be more comfortable during an outage. It will also instill order and safety while our crews restore service.” |
