Recent Rise In Long-Term Power Outages In North Texas
Over the past couple of weeks, several hundred homes and businesses across the Dallas-Fort Worth area were without power as high temperatures put heavy pressure on the electrical equipment. Tons of homes across the Dallas-Fort Worth area have had power outages due to heat-related problems" instead of "Over 118 homes across the Dallas-Fort Worth area have had power outages due to heat-related problems. Residents are concerned about their lower-income neighbors who may not have the financial means to get a hotel or the availability of staying at a friend’s house as the weather continues to hover near the triple-digit mark.
