According to a post on the City of Arlington’s X page, as of 6 p.m. Saturday, Oncor is down to 600 outages in the area.
“There's a transformer right behind us, and I can just see this big glow of orange,” Keeton said. “And then we could hear a transformer going off southwest of us to.”"I looked down toward the school down there," Conroy said."And I heard a boom and then a bright light, a flash."“They had to get a troop, a tree crew out here to cut the trees away from the power lines,” Conroy said.
However, others said they were concerned about not receiving timely updates. According to Keeton, in the past, Oncor has provided customers with a report confirmation and approximate time for completion. “This time they said we cannot give you a time. We'll have crews out assessing,” Keeton said. “That went on all night long, and you couldn't get a hold of anybody.”“It came back on just like that,” Keeton said."Maybe they work on the system a little bit," Keeton said about Oncor."Because you can't get a live person, and you can't get a live person at your electric provider either on the weekend. There are people in their eighties that are still living in homes.
The City of Arlington said public libraries and recreation centers will also serve as a place to get relief from the heat during regular business hours. Residents may also contact the Action Center at 817-459-6777.
