SWEPCO sent a press release alerting Ark-La-Tex residents that help is on the way. We are anticipating dangerous storms Friday evening through Saturday morning, and many residents are anticipating power outages.

Through its network of mutual aid, SWEPCO has 150 utility workers from Ft. Worth, Abilene, and Austin, Texas to assist with power restoration."
