As of 8:25 p.m. Sunday night, Oncor outages are estimated as follows:

Tyler: Apx. 460 outages

Jacksonville: Apx. 1,950 outages

Palestine: Apx. 50 outages

Whitehouse: Apx. 490 outages

Lufkin/Nac: Apx. 1,750 outages

Oncor believes the number of fallen trees from Saturday night's storm is a result from last year's drought.

Many of the trees that fell from the storm were dead trees that were weaker than normal.

Oncor has brought extra resources to the Lufkin and Jacksonville areas after Saturday's isolated thunderstorm that caused widespread damage in several East Texas neighborhoods.

Restorations to all homes that have outages are expected to be complete by midday Monday, July 23.

In a press release, Oncor asks customers to make plans to safely await restoration.

Oncor also asks customers call 888-313-4747 to report outages, and click stormcenter.oncor.com for weather and restoration updates.

Please be careful of downed power lines and call 911 immediately if you spot a downed line.

Additional resources from Houston, Dallas, Waco, Texoma, Fort Worth and Beaumont have responded to aid in the recovery from this major weather event.

"We understand the tremendous hardship that being without power during these severe weather conditions places on our customers. We want to assure our customers that Oncor is taking every measure possible to restore power as quickly and as safely as possible," Oncor Senior Vice President and Chief Operating Officer Jim Greer said. "During periods of intense summer heat, it's important that we do all we can to keep our customers safe and allow them to make plans to await restoration."

Oncor says intense lightning and high winds, coupled with dead and falling trees affected by last night's drought, were the main factors in the loss of power.

More than 27,000 lightning strikes were recorded in Angelina County alone.

Winds in excess of 60 miles per hour blew through the area with even stronger wind gusts recorded.

Early Sunday afternoon, approximately 10,800 customers remained without power.

That was down from a grand total of more than 24,000 customers.
