Gonzales battered by winds that take trees and roofs

GONZALES, Texas — After winds ripped his roof off, friends surrounded Ronnie Holcombe with heartfelt hugs and handshakes, marveling at his survival.

Emerging from the wreckage of his 2,000 square foot workshop, which used to adjoin the front of his home, he found his roof about 100 feet away, twisted and torn into pieces. Chief Operating Officer Sean Alvarez said at the height of the storm around noontime Monday, they had about 4,000 members without service.

"Currently we've identified three transmission structures that are on the ground and that is where we have the vast majority of members that are without power right now. It's due to the transmission feeds that serve their substations.""These guys are heroes when it comes to these types of conditions. We always call them the unsung heroes because they rush into conditions that most of us do not want to be a part of.
