Many North Texans will spend their Labor Day holiday recovering from severe thunderstorms that blew through the area on Sunday afternoon.
Overall, the majority of damage and power outages were reported in Dallas County. At the peak of the storm, more than 110,000 customers lost power. But the storms impacted Collin County as well, leading to reports of tree limbs down in parts of Richardson and Garland.
Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins said at about 12:15 p.m. Monday that crews were working to restore service to about 30,000 remaining customers, about 28,000 of whom are in the city of Dallas. By 4 p.m. that number had dropped to just over 13,000 customers in Dallas County.
"Some locations have suffered significant damage to the electrical equipment on the house," Jenkins said on Twitter. "In these cases, Oncor is required to disconnect the service at the Weatherhead to prevent any hazards until the customer can make the repairs."
