4:54 pm 7Jun

It's almost 5 o'clock, but our crews are still working hard. We have approximately 420 members without power, caused by 21 incidents.

2:30 p.m. Update

2:30 pm 7Jun

The Corrigan area of Sam Houston Electric Cooperative's service territory was hit quite badly yesterday. Additional crews were called in last night, and we are continuing to bring in even more today. Many of the areas are quite difficult to access and some are only accessible by foot because of the ground condition. Our projection is to have most of the widespread cases of trouble back online by the end of the day. Having said that, there will be several small isolated cases that we will continue to work on—as always the case after a storm. We appreciate everyone's support and patience.

1 p.m. Update

12:57 pm 7Jun

At nearly 1 p.m., we have approximately 500 members without power. Crews are still dispatched across the Co-op's service territory; however, the majority of outages remain in and around Corrigan.

11:15 a.m. Update

11:15 am 7Jun

As of 11:15 a.m., we have 30 outage instances affecting around 550 members. We appreciate your patience and understanding as our crews work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible.

9 a.m. Update

9:00 am 7Jun

As of 9:00 a.m., we currently have 34 outage instances affecting a little over 650 members.

The majority of the remaining outages are in Corrigan and the areas north of Corrigan. This photo shows some of the extensive storm damage found in these areas—broken power poles, fallen trees and limbs, and flooding have made it difficult for crews to access some of the more remote places. Sam Houston EC crews, along with contract crews and a right-of-way crew, have worked through the night and will continue to work as quickly and safely as possible completely restore power.

6 a.m. Update

6:00 am 7Jun

Our crews worked hard throughout the night restoring power after yesterday's severe weather. As of this morning, we have just under 500 members without power. Our crews will continue working until everyone is able to safely receive power.

Thank you for your understanding, and thank you for all the hard work from our crews.
