A line of severe thunderstorms that moved through the Uvalde County area late on Tuesday evening though early Wednesday morning resulting in extended power outages in Sabinal and Knippa. Uvalde County Emergency Management Coordinator Forrest Anderson said straight line winds between 60-80 miles an hour snapped electrical poles located on 187 South near Sabinal. Residents of Sabinal and Knippa lost power late Tuesday night and AEP did not have power restored until Wednesday evening after 5 PM.

Anderson also reported that the strong winds resulted in downed tree limbs causing some road closures with many having been addressed.

He went on to say there are still a few locations without power.

The Uvalde Hesperian observed electrical crews along Highway 90 between Uvalde and Knippa this morning working on power transmission lines.
