Power outages
Oncor Electric Delivery crews are working around the clock to restore to power to thousands of Richardson customers. The majority of outages are located west of US 75, but several areas east of the freeway were also affected, according to a map from Oncor.

Additionally, the city reports several traffic signals have yet to be restored and a handful remain powered by generators.
Cleanup efforts
Staff with the Brush and Bulky Item Collection service expects to spend the next several weeks clearing streets of down trees and other storm debris, according to the city's website.
"Since the storm, we've received over 1,000 calls for [Brush and Bulky Item Collection] services," Assistant Director of Public Services Travis Switzer said. "Typically, this time of year it's 600 to 700 [calls]."
Residents are encouraged to request pick-up service by calling 972-744-4111 or at www.cor.net/babic.
