Storm causes power outage for much of Jacksboro

Oncor crews have been chasing downed power lines since Wednesday afternoon. Thursday has only yielded numerous more including one affecting more than 1,000 customers.

Jacksboro City Manager Mike Smith said he got a call from Oncor around 12:30 p.m. Thursday and was told there was a main line down that was impacting about 1,300 customers between Graham and Jacksboro.

“It’s a priority because it impacts critical facilities like the hospital and the wastewater treatment plant,” Smith said. “They’re on generator power right now.”
