The crews will be helping Center Point Energy, which is the utility company in the Houston area, get the power back on for any impacted customers.

Texas officials say restoring electricity will take days after Beryl came ashore Monday as a Category 1 hurricane. Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who is acting governor while Gov. Greg Abbott is out of the country, said the storm toppled 10 transmission lines and that many of the outages were caused by fallen trees.
