Severe weather, especially when it brings strong winds, can mean power outages.
Just over 33,000 AEP customers were without power after a storm came through the Rio Grande Valley on Sunday.
"Our crews are currently out working to restore that power," AEP Texas Spokesperson Eladio Jaimez said. "We did have a lot of downed power lines, some snapped poles. We have poles that just snapped in half because of the winds that blew in, so it is going to be a process."
AEP is urging people if they do spot a downed power line to stay away from it. Downed power lines can be reported by calling 866-223-8508.
