This Website Makes It Easy for Texans to Track Power Outages

Here in Texas, we're no strangers to weather events - severe thunderstorms, strong wind, extreme temperatures (high and low), tornadoes, large hail, snow, ice, hurricanes...the list goes on. Whether we're in Deep East Texas, West Texas, Hill Country, or somewhere in between, we know about extreme weather. Because of all these weather-related events, we're also familiar with power outages. It would actually be really convenient if there was a way to track the power outages here in the Lone Star State...Luckily, I found a website that allows us to do just that.

PowerOutage.com Allows Users to Track Power Outages by State, County and Provider

The website I'm referring to is called PowerOutage.com. It allows users to track power outages not only in Texas, but across all 50 states. You can select your state and find out how many customers are without power.

So, for example, I can go to the website, click on Texas and it pulls up the full number of outages. From there, I can check each individual county to see how many power outages there currently are, and how many customers are tracked in that county.

But you can go even farther than that. You can also filter the number of outages by utility company. This makes it a lot easier to see if there's an issue with just your provider, or if it's a bigger problem across the board for your area.

That's really just the beginning of what this tracker can do. It also provides you with a complete detailed power outage summary, gives you a list of untracked providers, and more. Like I said, this is a pretty convenient way for those of us here in Texas to keep up with our power outages. And, with more weather events on the way, it's even more convenient right now.
