Over 900 Austin Energy customers without power

Just over 900 Austin Energy customers are without power Thursday morning following storms Wednesday evening.

AUSTIN (KXAN) — Just over 900 Austin Energy customers are without power Thursday morning following storms Wednesday evening.

The Austin Energy outage map previously showed 1,059 affected customers and 30 outages at 6:43 a.m. Thursday. That number reduced to 913 as of 10 a.m., but the number of active outages increased to 43.

The utility said the "vast majority" of outages are weather related.

Austin Energy said as many as 4,000 customers were without power at some point overnight. Crews were able to restore power for those people. The outages were caused by tree limbs breaking in the high winds and falling on power lines.

"Please be patient as restoring power could involve removing toppled limbs from power lines in very rugged terrain," Austin Energy posted to social media, along with photos of snapped trees.

The largest concentration of customers impacted are in the 78704 zip code with 705 customers without power in that part of the city.

Below is a full table of the number of customers affected in each zip code as of 6:43 a.m.
