Millions of people across Texas are currently without power as a result of severe weather conditions that hit the state on Monday night. The chairman of the Public Utility Commission of Texas, Thomas Gleeson, has stated that it will take several days to fully restore power to all affected areas.
Gleeson explained during a news conference that the state is currently in the assessment phase, where utility companies are evaluating the extent of the damage caused by the storm. This assessment is crucial in determining when it will be safe for crews to begin the process of restoring power.
