Across its entire service area, which stretches up to the edge of Fort Hood, P.E.C. reported 21,815 meters, about 5.7% of its total, were still affected by outages Friday night. In Comal County alone there were 2,250.
it was difficult to know when individual outages could be fixed, and some outages could last into the weekend.
Loria and her neighbor, Jeremy McCombs, were both frustrated by their inability to get in contact with PEC.While McCombs had a generator that allowed him to power an RV for he and his family to stay in and heat lamps in the house to keep his animals warm, it’s not a cheap solution. He says he burned through $160 worth of gasoline in just two days.
The power outage has also kept him close to home, unwilling to leave in case the power comes back on. He’s worried the heat lamps could be a fire hazard, and the water heater will need to be relit. “You know, I can do better things in my day than just sitting around waiting for an electric company,” he said.About the Authors:
