Power Update

Friends,

The latest update from Oncor can be found HERE. I will make certain that the legislature takes up this issue of outages immediately! I have already been in contact with the Speaker and the Chair for the State Affairs committee discussing hearings as soon as we can reconvene session.  Similar problems on a smaller scale occurred in 2011. We directed upgrades to the power system then. This should not be occurring. We must order dramatic upgrades and it will be expensive. But this should not ever happen again. Believe me, our friends who work in the electric power industry agree. They are working hard to get power restored. They are as frustrated as we are. It has been a cascade of problems that caused these outages. All of this can be corrected for the future. 

Continue to pray for those in critical situations. Help wherever you have opportunity.
