texas

background:

entergy texas is closely monitoring forecasts of the winter storms expected to bring freezing rain, snow, and the potential for ice accumulation through wednesday of next week.

key messages:

  • freezing rain and sleet are expected.
  • ice accumulation is expected to be the heaviest in the navasota and huntsville areas.
  • traveling can be impacted with some icy roadways, especially bridges and overpasses
  • ice accumulating on trees and power lines can result in power outages.
  • we are preparing our workers if outages begin to occur.

customers should be prepared, as well. customers should:

  • charge up mobile devices and back-up batteries.
  • download the entergy app to and sign up for text updates.
  • review guidance at entergystormcenter.com.
  • if you have medical equipment that requires electricity to properly function, take necessary steps to secure an alternative source of electricity in the event of a power disruption.
  • have an emergency kit including flashlights, medicine, first aid, blankets, water and food.

if you lose power:

  • stay away from downed power lines. you can’t tell from looking at them whether they are energized or not, so assume they are. report them to 1-800-9outage.
  • report your power outage online to entergy texas or call 1-800-9outage. there is no need to speak with a customer service representative to report an outage if completed online.
  • if you have a portable generator, use it safely. do not run it in an enclosed space. if connecting to the whole house, do so only if the connection has been installed by a licensed electrician to prevent back feed on to the distribution system.
  • do not open your refrigerator or freezer door. food will stay cold much longer this way. if outside temperature is below freezing, consider placing food in an ice chest outside.
  • please stay clear of linemen as they work.
