Entergy has issued the following statement regarding power restoration: “Hurricane Beryl made landfall Monday morning, bringing heavy rain and strong winds, resulting in widespread power outages. Crews are still assessing damage, but impacts to the Entergy Texas service area are significant. We expect this to be a multi-day restoration effort. Please make the necessary arrangements to keep yourself and family members safe during this time. We will continue to keep you informed.
