The ice storm damage stayeth
Tuesday, February 7, 2023 by Elizabeth Pagano
Austin Energy delivered the dispiriting news Monday that, while the vast majority of Austinites had power restored, the utility was aiming to have everyone back online by Sunday, Feb. 12. Complicating already complicated repair matters is a forecast that threatens high winds and rain that may slow down repairs further. In the meantime, the city continues to compile and distribute resources for those who might still be without power or are coping with damage sustained during the ice storm. Information about shelters, food distribution, disaster response, utilities, repairs and permitting, storm debris management and other safety information can be found on the city’s website, here.
