North Texas is grappling with severe weather aftermath as residents and officials work to restore normalcy after a series of devastating storms. The region, including Dallas and East Texas, has faced significant damage with trees on houses, storm debris, and widespread power outages. As of Friday morning, about 300,000 customers were still without power, with some areas like McLennan County particularly affected. The storms, which began on Tuesday, have left at least one person dead and caused extensive damage, including flooding and ripped roofs. Crews are working tirelessly to restore power, but ongoing severe weather is hampering efforts. Oncor and SWEPCO aim to restore most power by Friday evening, though full cleanup and restoration could take months. Collin County Meals on Wheels is providing support to those unable to reach centers due to the outages. Approximately 243,000-plus people are still without power, with 150,000 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. About 80% of the more than 1 million homes and businesses that lost power have had electricity restored.
