Here we go again. The last time we got huge winds and wildfires it went to 1.5M acres. Imagine this while there are blizzards in the Midwest. Right now it impacts the OK and N Texas panhandles.

Over 14,000 households in Texas are being impacted by a Public Safety Power Shutoff due to vicious winds reaching up to 70 mph.

Weather conditions are expected to drop below shutoff thresholds, and Xcel Energy Texas said restoring power could take several hours to several days.

"This is because crews must inspect power lines and repair damage before they can be safely re-energized," Xcel Energy said on social media.

Texas Panhandle customers in the following areas are impacted: Carson, Deaf Smith, Donley, Gray, Hansford, Hartley, Hutchinson, Moore, Oldham, Potter, Randall, Roberts, Sherman, and Swisher counties.

Hundreds of Xcel Energy crew members and contractors are positioned in the panhandle, ready to restore power as outages arise.
