Houston area residents affected by deadly storms last weekthat left at least seven dead were finally getting some good news as officials said they expected power to be restored by Sunday evening to a majority of the hundreds of thousands still in the dark and without air conditioning amid hot and humid weather.
More than 352,000 homes and businesses in Texas remained without electricity Sunday morning, with most of those in the Houston area. Officials had worried that high-voltage transmission towers that were torn apart by the high winds would substantially prolong efforts to restore power. CenterPoint Energy said 2,000 employees and more than 5,000 contractors were working in the Houston area to restore power.
