SAN ANTONIO – At least 17,000 CPS Energy customers in San Antonio experienced a power outage on Saturday due to heavy overnight storms, the utility said through an online post.
More than 350 outages are active and impacted at least 10,000 customers as of 3:15 p.m., according to the CPS Energy outage map. Outages primarily affected the city’s Northwest Side.
“Restoration efforts are expected to continue through Sunday,” CPS Energy said through a social media post.
Crews prioritized responding in areas where there were reported downed power lines, the utility company said.
Additionally, crews are working on outages affecting the largest number of customers, emergency locations and smaller outages, CPS Energy said.
Some areas in San Antonio recorded more than two inches of rainfall in a short amount of time.

That heavy rain led to Flash Flood Warnings Saturday morning and to the closure of several low-water crossings.
CPS Energy said flooded roads can delay power outage repairs.
People can report power outages on the CPS Energy website, the utility said.
To report a downed power line, CPS Energy encourages people to call 210-353-HELP (4357).
