Thursday’s storms brought much of Houston to a standstill.
CenterPoint Energy said it anticipated that about 80% of affected customers in the Houston area would have service restored by Sunday evening. Hidalgo said 90% of customers could be restored by Wednesday. CenterPoint Energy said 2,000 employees and more than 5,000 contractors were working in the Houston area to restore power.
