We spoke with officials from AEP, who tell us there are at least 60 electric poles down in and around Fort Davis. Power is not expected to return to those blacked-out areas until Monday.
The most immediate concern is downed power lines. Even though those lines are expected to be de-energized, AEP warns residents to exercise caution.
AEP is in contact Judge Grubb of Jeff Davis County. They also want to tell anyone who has need for constant power for health reasons, they need to make alternative plans prior to Monday.
