at 5:00 pm approximately 14,700 entergy texas customers were without power of the 192,000 affected by the storm. many customers have seen multiple outages that we have restored. our workers continue to safely restore power as quickly as possible.
for areas that have flooded, entergy is inspecting meters then repairing and replacing them as is necessary. customers may need to make repairs to property and obtain inspections before entergy is able to safely restore power to these locations. for more information please click here.
safety considerations after a flood:
did the water level rise above your electrical outlets but stop below the electric meter?
if you are present when entergy workers arrive:
- we will advise you to turn off your main breaker and have repairs made. you will then need to turn your main breaker back on.
- for your safety, we suggest a qualified electrician inspect electrical equipment inside of the facility or home, even if your city or county does not require inspection. if the breaker is turned on before such inspections, you may cause personal injury or property damage.
for customers with property damage:
- if your property has any water damage, please turn off the electricity at either the main fuse box or circuit breaker.
- call a licensed electrician for advice when necessary.
- don’t step in water to get to the fuse box or circuit breaker.
- a licensed electrician may need to inspect your property’s electric wiring before we can restore power to a home or business that has water damage from rain or flood waters.
for customers without property damage:
- property owners without storm damage should still be cautious.
- look for electrical system damage after power is restored. if you see sparks, broken or frayed wires, or the smell of hot insulation is noticeable, turn off the electricity at either the main fuse box or circuit breaker.

harvey damage and restoration: photos | videos
entergy has brought additional restoration workers to texas. as with most restoration efforts, entergy is focusing on restoring power to essential services first, and then the effort will focus on restoring service to areas where the greatest numbers can be restored fastest. this is how we approach things at this stage:
- essential services such as hospitals, nursing homes, fire and police departments, and water systems are at the head of the restoration list, along with our equipment that supplies electricity to large numbers of customers.
- then we will concentrate our resources on getting the greatest number of customers back the fastest.
- we cannot use our bucket trucks until sustained winds are less than 30 mph, but we can still begin restoring service to customers by closing circuit breakers, rerouting power and other actions.
as with any weather event, please be mindful of the following safety tips:
- live wires can be deadly. stay away from downed power lines. call 1-800-9outage or 1-800-968-8243 to report downed or dangling power lines, poles or other damaged equipment.
- do not trim trees or remove debris on or near downed power lines. only power company crews or their contractors should remove trees or limbs touching power lines.
- keep away from the immediate areas where crews are working. there is always the danger of moving equipment and the possibility of construction materials, limbs, or overhead wires falling to the ground.
- if you plan on using a generator for temporary power, get a licensed electrician and disconnect from the utility electric system before hooking up to your home main electric panel.
- do not run a generator in a confined space without adequate ventilation.
- avoid using candles or other flammable devices to warm your home.
- try to stay off the roads. more traffic in bad weather leads to more accidents, including more injuries and fatalities as well as accidents that can damage electrical poles and other equipment, creating outages and impeding the ability of crews to access and repair damage and slowing restoration.
