Sunday outage possibly caused by downed tree
Texas New Mexico Power Company customers in the Montague, Nocona, Ringgold and Saint Jo areas were without power for two hours on Sunday afternoon.
About 3,200 homes and business in the northern part of Montague County and a few other small communities in that area were affected due to a tree.
“There was a tree leaning against equipment,” explained Eric Paul, TNMP communications officer. “I don’t know exactly what that looks like, if it was against a pole or wires, I don’t have specifics on that.”
With temperatures well above the 100-degree mark on Sunday (111), TNMP crews worked quickly to restore power to the area. Paul said the outage started around 2:20 p.m. July 22 and was restored around 4:20 p.m.
“It was exceptionally hot on Sunday and we appreciate that the customers were so understanding,” said Paul. “The crews were working quickly as possible to find the problem and get it fixed. We appreciate everyone’s patience.”
