The recent storms have knocked out power for thousands throughout East Texas and Northwest Louisiana with crews hard at work this Memorial Day restoring power. I called SWEPCO and was told obviously the Longview area was hit the hardest and while power is currently coming back on they expect full restoration by this Friday. For more information and updates you're recommended to follow them on FACEBOOK.  So far they've brought back power to over 37,000 customers.
