SHREVEPORT, La. - SWEPCO crews continue to make progress in the ongoing effort to rebuild SWEPCO's energy delivery system and have restored service to more than half of all customers impacted by Friday's severe weather. The storms, which included a confirmed EF-1 tornado as well as hurricane-level straight line winds, delivered a punch to both the transmission and distribution stations. More severe weather barreled through the region on Sunday and knocked out additional service. As of Thursday morning, an estimated 36,730 customers remained without power. According to SWEPCO's website, those outages include:
- Caddo - 18,043
- Bossier - 3,868
- DeSoto - 601
- Harrison Co. - 6,027
- Gregg Co. - 2,479
- Marion Co. - 1,147
SWEPCO said it's received reports of some customers receiving text alerts of restored power, when it is not. Anyone who gets a text alert that power is back on, but it's not, report the outage at SWEPCO.com or through the SWEPCO mobile app.
ESTIMATED RESTORATION TIMES
