Thousands Left in Dark After Strong Storms
Thousands of Texans remained without power, victims of severe storms packing hail and high wind that rolled north into Oklahoma, where they downed power lines and delayed airline flights.
About 280,000 homes and businesses across the Dallas-Fort Worth area were without electricity, and it could be several days before power is fully restored, said TXU Electric Delivery spokeswoman Carol Peters. “This particular storm was in another realm,” she said.
The storms also left about 100,000 Oklahomans without electric power.
