LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT
ARLINGTON POLICE JUST TWEETED
OUT.

OUT. THESE ARE PHOTOS OF POWER LINES
DOWN AND THE SCENE IS BEING
REPEATED ACROSS THE DFW AREA.
IN ARLINGTON SPECIFICALLY,
SOUTHBOUND MATLOCK IS CLOSED
BECAUSE OF THIS BIG MESS.
WE'VE BEEN TALKING ABOUT POWER
OUTAGES.
OUTAGES.
OUTAGES. LET'S GET TO IT.+@
DAVID GOINS IS LIVE IN DALLAS.
A LOT OF P+@EOPLE JUST GOT THEI
POWER BACK AFTER LAST WEEK'S
STORMS AND HERE WE GO AGAIN.
>> Reporter: SURE.
ANY TIME YOU SEE A BIG STORM
COME THROUGH, YOU'RE GOING TO
BE WONDERING ABOUT POWER
OUTAGES, ESPECIALLY AFTER WHAT+

+@ WE SAW LAST WEEK.
I'M GLAD YOU MENTIONED
ARLINGTON OFF THE TOP.
I LOOKED AT THE ONCOR OUTAGE
MAP AND ARLINGTON AND GRAND
PRAIRIE WHERE WE ARE RIGHT NOW
ARE IN OLD EAST DALLAS.
WHEN THAT SQUALL LINE WENT
THROUGH JUST+@ AFTER 4:00 WE
HEARD THAT ONCE AGAIN POWER HAD
GONE OUT IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.
GOOD NEWS TO UPDATE, AS YOU CAN
SEE HERE IN THE LAST 10 OR 15
MINUTES, YOU SEE PORCH LIGHTS
ARE BACK ON, WHICH MEANS THE
POWER OUTAGE AT LEAST THIS TIME
MUCH SHORTER BUT FOR FOLKS WHO
LIVE IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD, IT
WAS WAY TOO SOON, A REMINDER TO
LOSE LIGHTS ONCE AGAIN.
+@
LOSE LIGHTS ONCE AGAIN. MANY OF THEM DIDN'T COME BACK
+@
+@ ON
+@ ON UNTIL WEDNE+@SDAY AND THURSD
IN THIS PART OF EAST DAL+@LAS
AFTER LAST THURSDAY'S
THUNDERSTORMS.
THUNDERSTORMS. DRIVING AROUND LOVE FIELD,
DIFFERENT PARTS OF NORTH
DALLAS, AREAS THAT WERE HARD-
HIT LAST WEEK, MUCH DIFFERENT
SCENE TODAY.
SCENE TODAY. JUST KIND OF A RAIN STORM AND
NO REAL MAJOR POWER OUTAGES.
WE DID SEE FLASHING LIGHTS AT
GASTON AND ABRAM WHICH IS IN
EAST DALLAS WHICH MEANS THERE
MAY BE A FEW POWER OUTAGES IN
THAT AREA BUT COMPARED TO LAST
SUNDAY, THERE IS NO COMPARISON.
