Outage map shows thousands of CPS Energy customers without power

CPS Energy’s outage map showed 9,789 customers without power at 7:10 a.m. Monday as storms and flash flooding moved through San Antonio. A later report from the same morning said the number had climbed to more than 10,300 customers.

CPS Energy said flooded roads and other hazardous conditions could limit access to damaged equipment and delay repairs. The utility said crew safety remained its top priority and delayed the opening of its customer walk-in centers until noon Monday.

Outages rose quickly

The outage count moved up fast during the morning storm cycle. The largest outage reported in early coverage affected more than 3,000 customers near Bandera Road and Prue Road on the Northwest Side. Another report said a separate outage affected more than 1,000 homes in Fronterra at Westpointe and Bison Ridge near Wiseman Boulevard and Talley Road.

The later reports also said the hardest-hit outages were concentrated on the North Side, Northwest Side and West Side.

Flooding and road closures

The utility disruptions came as the National Weather Service issued a flash flood warning for the San Antonio area until 10:45 a.m. Monday. A broader flood watch covered South-Central Texas through Tuesday evening, with forecasters warning of heavy rain and possible life-threatening flooding.

Road problems were widespread. One report said roughly 40 roads were closed across Bexar County early Monday because of flooding. Another said San Antonio International Airport had already recorded 2.54 inches of rain by Monday morning, setting a new daily rainfall record for June 15.

What comes next

Restoration timing will depend on when crews can safely reach damaged equipment and how quickly floodwater recedes. CPS Energy’s outage totals could still change as the storm continues and access improves.

The immediate watch points are whether the outage count rises further or begins to fall, and whether the weather service extends or downgrades the flood warning.
