HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Over 1.7 million households are still without power a day after Beryl lashed southeast Texas and left behind a path of darkness and destruction.

CenterPoint Energy, the primary power provider for Houston, said customers should expect a multi-day process to restore their electricity.

See the latest updates from CenterPoint’s Outage Tracker here:

The ongoing outages come as a Heat Advisory was issued for much of the Houston area on Tuesday. Temperatures are expected to reach the low 90s by the afternoon, and with high humidity, heat index values will make it feel like the triple digits.

Cooling centers will open across the Houston area to help people without air conditioning during the Heat Advisory.

On Monday evening, Alyssa Oshodi, the company’s director of communications, told Eyewitness News they are confident about a multiple-day event to assess the damage to its system and restore power.

Over 2.2 million customers were without power during Beryl’s height — more than 90% of CenterPoint Energy customers.

CenterPoint explained that 12,000 additional field resources were deployed from outside agencies to assist their crews. Chicago’s ConEd was among the companies providing workers to the region.

According to Oshodi, CenterPoint is prioritizing areas where crews can restore more customers and where there are critical care facilities — like nursing homes and assisted living centers.

So, when should customers get back power? CenterPoint said it expects to restore 1 million impacted customers by the end of the day on Wednesday.

“While we tracked the projected path, intensity and timing for Hurricane Beryl closely for many days, this storm proved the unpredictability of hurricanes as it delivered a powerful blow across our service territory and impacted a lot of lives,” Lynnae Wilson, CenterPoint Energy’s senior vice president, said. “We know we have important work ahead for our customers who depend on us, especially during the hot summer months.”

Another regional electricity provider, Entergy, reported about 201,000 outages as of noon on Monday, with the majority located in Montgomery, Jefferson, Walker, and Liberty counties. The count included more than 6,100 Galveston County customers, including the entire Bolivar Peninsula.

HARRIS COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) — Two people are dead after trees fell on top of homes across the Houston area as Hurricane Beryl lashed southeast Texas on Monday morning, officials said.

Harris County Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said the first incident happened in the 20900 block of Heather Grove Court in the Atascocita area.

A 911 caller said a tree fell through the roof of their home and a man was trapped and unresponsive.

In a later update, Pct. 4 confirmed the man died.

In a post on social media, Herman said the northbound lanes of Heather Grove Court were blocked by a tree, and power lines were down nearby at Kings River Drive and Water Point Trail.

Residents are being asked to avoid the area if possible.

The second incident happened in the 17400 block of Rustic Canyon Trail in the Ponderosa Forest neighborhood in north Harris County.

A 911 caller said a tree fell through the roof of her grandmother’s home, according to Pct. 4.

In a later update, Pct. 4 said the victim was confirmed dead at the scene. Family members told ABC13 the woman was 73-year-old Maria Laredo.

“Please keep her family in your prayers,” Herman said in a post on social media. “Constable Deputies are continuing the investigation on scene.”

Beryl claimed a third life, when a woman died in a house fire in southeast Houston. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

The Harris County Office of Homeland Security & Emergency Management (HCOHSEM) continues monitoring Beryl. The National Hurricane Center anticipates Beryl will make landfall as a hurricane near Matagorda Bay early Monday morning. Impacts will begin as early as this evening. The National Weather Service is expecting wind impacts to be the biggest concern.

• Having enough supplies for your household. This includes food, water, medications, and pet supplies.

Residents should also plan to stay and remain at home by 10 p.m. tonight. According to the National Weather Service, flash flooding is likely in areas across the county and some roads will be impassable due to debris.
