Entergy deploys 1,500 workers to restore power for 70,000 customers after Edouard landfall

Tropical Storm Edouard has made landfall in Southeast Texas, leaving nearly 70,000 customers without power as of Tuesday evening. Entergy Texas has deployed over 1,500 resources to assess damage and restore service, though high winds and flooding are complicating efforts. The storm has weakened to a tropical depression but continues to bring heavy rainfall, with totals expected to reach 5 to 10 inches and isolated areas up to 20 inches. Several Houston-area school districts, including Conroe ISD and Willis ISD, closed for Wednesday due to safety concerns, while Magnolia ISD maintained a normal schedule. Flash flooding is increasingly likely in the Piney Woods area of southeast Texas.
