Killeen Power Outages Caused by Weather

Events

April 28, 2023 - Tornado

A supercell tracked across Coryell County on the afternoon of April 28th producing an EF-1 tornado with maximum winds around 105 mph. The pattern of damage suggests this tornado may have been a multi-vortex tornado and evidence of very strong RFD wind damage was also found just south of the tornado track, further complicating the track location.||The tornado likely began near Bagget Mountain, tracked across CR 146, and did the most notable damage along CR 148. Several large trees along CR 148, in multiple locations, were damaged ranging from broken trunks to large trees uprooted. The property of a sporting range was damaged with the shooting range cover being blown across the street to the northeast. Two injuries occurred at this location, and one person was transported with a leg injury. The tornado generally followed CRs 148 and 147 on a southeast direction, continuing to damage trees and causing minor roof damage. The tornado crossed FM 116, just north of CR 145, causing damage to trees and minor roof damage to a home east of the road. The tornado then moved onto the property of Fort Hood. Access to this area is limited, but additional damage to trees and power poles was found along West Range Road, south of Henson Creek. The end of the tornado was estimated by radar over inaccessible areas of Fort Hood.||RFD winds were determined to be the cause of damage of a collapsed cell phone tower along West Range Road and a home on Longview Circle that lost part of its roof. The RFD winds could have been near 95 mph.

April 12, 2022 - Tornado

This tornado began in northern Williamson County and additional information about the beginning of this tornado track can be found from the NWS Austin/San Antonio office.||Video evidence taken on the ground during the tornadic event, and areal footage of the damage track show the parent circulation produced at least 3 small, brief tornadoes while the storm circulation was near and east of the county line. Scattered damage points and small paths are making it difficult to determine which areas may have been impacted by each of these smaller tornadoes before the parent tornado formed. Therefore, in the area just east of the Williamson/Bell County line, the damage extent of the tornadic track has been widened to include all the known damage points (all EF-0s or EF-1s). In this case, since it is too difficult to discern the smaller tracks, and because they all formed from the same parent circulation within a short amount of time of each other, they will all be considered one tornado. The maximum width listed will remain the maximum width of the parent tornado (the EF-3 tornado).||The tornado, which began in northern Williamson County, entered extreme southern Bell County north of the junction between Bell County Road 231 and FM 2843. In this area there was a narrow swath of tree damage consistent with EF-0 intensity wind speeds, with some damage to outbuildings as well. The tornado moved east-northeast and intersected FM 2843, where the damage to trees and structures became much more significant. At least 15-20 damaged homes were visible to the survey team on both sides of FM 2843, with the most significant damage concentrated near the junction of FM 2843 and Buttermilk Road. In this vicinity, at least 10 structures suffered EF-2 to EF-3 intensity damage, with a small cluster of homes experiencing estimated peak tornado wind speeds of 150 to 165 mph. These structures had all or most of their roofs removed, and some of them had one or more exterior walls collapsed. Two churches along FM 2843 in the vicinity of Buttermilk Road were seriously damaged, with roofing material removed and multiple walls collapsed. Numerous vehicles in the area had significant damage consistent with being rolled or having flying projectiles thrown into them. Many hardwood trees along the FM 2843 corridor in the tornado path were uprooted or snapped, and many power poles were also snapped.||Beyond Buttermilk Road, the tornado continued traveling east-northeastward another 1.5 miles along FM 2843, then began a sharp turn to the northeast and eventually a northerly direction. Aerial footage allowed us to track the damage through inaccessible areas where notable tree damage, damage to homes and barns was observed along the path of the tornado.||The tornado reached Crows Ranch Rd and damaged aluminum panels of the roof of a home and blew in the panel garage door. It continued over a ridge line, then intensified again shortly before crossing FM 2484. It uprooted many large trees, shifted a large barn's walls, lifted roof panels off a shed, and caused significant damage to a residence. The residence's roof was almost entirely removed from the structure, and a section of the south facing wall was blown in. The east facing wall was completely blown out, all consistent with a high-end EF2 rating in this location. The tornado then continued northwest into the South Shore neighborhood, and then into Union Grove Park where it lifted shortly after moving onto Stillhouse Hollow Lake.

Episodes

January 10, 2021

A Heavy Snow event, triggered by a large upper level low, unfolded across mainly the southern half of FWD CWA. The highest snowfall totals accumulated along and south of Interstate 20 and west of Interstate 35. A band of 8-9 of snow fell in an area from Stephenville to Mosheim. The highest snowfall total of 9 inches was reported in Mosheim (far southern Bosque County). A secondary band of 6-8 inches of snow also fell from Hearne to Palestine. Throughout the event, temperatures largely remained in the lower 30s. Thus, the impacts were very minimal from this snow event. Some travel impacts due to snow-covered roads, some downed tree branches, and downed power lines causing some power issues were the extent of impacts due to the snow. In addition, schools and government buildings/businesses did close for at least a day in many locations.

April 23, 2010

A linear mesoscale convective system developed in Lampasas County and moved northeast through north Texas on the night of Friday, April 23rd into the early morning hours of the 24th. There were some isolated reports of hail up to the size of golfballs, however most of the damage from these storms resulted from strong straight-line winds up to 90 mph. There was a brief tornado in Mabank in far southeastern Kaufman County. Most of the damage associated with the strong winds were downed trees, power poles, and power lines, but some building and residential damage was evident. Thousands of residents lost power during the event.

February 23, 2010

An upper level disturbance moved through north Texas with the best lift south of Interstate 20. The precipitation initially began as rain, but as colder temperatures filtered into the region, the rain transitioned to snow. An average of 2 to 5 inches fell across the southern portions of the NWS Fort Worth County Warning Area. However, several small bands formed across the region where 3 to 6 inches was observed. The heaviest snow band formed over Anderson County where a storm total of 6 inches fell near Palestine. Surface temperatures hovered at or just above freezing and helped with the overall impacts from the winter storm. There were several minor accidents and one major accident which resulted in one fatality due to the slushy driving conditions. There were also minor power outages reported throughout the region.

Update: since Sunday ongoing controlled power cut off in 76549 Killeen, and no end in sight. Mayor Jose Segarra pulled a publicity stunt and drove with a camera team all the way down to Splawn Ranch Road (somewhere close to Ding Dong, TX), to force a few people into his car and dispose of them in some shelter. He promised to restore the electricity on Splawn Ranch, and oh wonder, one half of the road has now electricity. Jose made it happen with a single phone call. The other half is reportedly waiting in vain for Jose to come back with his camera team to do the same "miracle" for them. He wont came back, people. The publicity stunt served its purpose and it is over. No electricity for you. But - Jose can do it, as he proofed during his publicity stunt in front of the camera team: one call, and the electricity is back on! What about you finally turn on ours, Jose. We live in the Matt-Janelle Drive area, part of a vast neighborhood which still never had power since Sunday (6 days), selected as victims of your "controlled power outage". Pick your phone up Fuehrer Adolf Segarra, and make the call to your buddies at Oncor to finally redivert the stolen power from your mansion and from the wealthiest residential neighborhoods you keep stealing back to us worthless taxpayers, who are paying your salary

Residents 76549 Killeen | February 18, 2021  

Update: Real estate mogul and City of Killeen Texas Mayor Jose L. Segarra has just deleted all citizen complaints from his Facebook page. He, his overheated wife and cronies in the wealthiest parts of Killeen are enjoying nutritious cups of cocoa made from boiled water (because the water pipes in all areas where he shut off the power supply are busted, the poor man has to boil the water for his morning cocoa. The quality of his tap water went down - what a tragedy for him and his snuggled up, cozy cronies). Update: since 6 days, the majority of all people in Killeen north of Stan Schlueter Loop in zip codes 76549 and 76542 have absolutely no electricity. Our back yard electricity converters are roaring loudly all over the neighborhood again, because these criminals in charge did not turn our power off, but they are diverting it to themselves, so they can use our electricity to overheat their oversized stinking villas, indoor spas, jacuzzis, indoor swimming pools and indoor massage parlors. Many people are suffering and many have frozen to death and died of the ice cold WITHOUT ANY ELECTRICITY SINCE NEARLY A WEEK. While types like the Mayor of Killeen and the Mayor of Colorado City Texas (who mocked the freezing population and told them to die, while he and the wealthy, who are stealing our power, will survive) snuggle in their overheated mansions where they induldge themselves in stolen warmth and luxury, many people in Texas, including children and frail elderly, have died of the cold during the past week. Segarra couldn't care less. He deleted all Facebook complaints of freezing, dying citizens.

Killeen, Texas, freezing without electricity since 6 days | February 18, 2021  

Which Texas mayor was that who just declared publicly that "people should fend for themselves and that only the strong will survive the arctic blast in Texas (=money bags, political donors, cronies and the wealthy to whom the Texas government is diverting the electricity of the average middleclass and the poor), and that the government does not owe the freezing, dying citizens anything". Was that perhaps Killeen's Mayor Segarra, or some other disgustingly evil creep? Who cares which one of them uttered that statement. They are all the same. Mayor Segarra of Killeen is still squatting in his overheated mansion in the prestigious overheated Lakeshore area, and did not change his decision to divert all electricity in town exclusively to himself and his cronies in the wealthiest areas of Killeen. The majority of people in Zip codes 76542 and 76549 north of Stan Schlueter Loop are now 6 days without electricity, Segarra. Segarra declared that he is only worried about the quality of his tap water, which he has to boil now because of all the frozen busted waterlines in the northern part of the 76542 and 76549 zip codes. We couldn't care less about the quality and nuritiousness of your hot morning cocoa, Segarra. Thousands of citizens in Killeen still have no electricity since 6 days, while you are squatting in your overheated palace and worry about the quality of your hot morning cocoa. We have still no electricity to boil anything, because you keep diverting our power to yourself and your donors and cronies in the wealthiest parts of Killeen. Segarra couldn't care less. Segarra has to worry about the nuritiousness of his boiled morning coffee.

Power Outage FAQs

What is Power Outage?

Power outage (also called a power cut, a power blackout, power failure or a blackout) is a short-term or a long-term loss of the electric power to a particular area.

What Causes Power Outages?

  • Severe weather (high winds, lightning, winter storms, heat waves, rain or flooding can cause damage to power lines or equipment);
  • Other damage to electric transmission lines (vehicle accidents, trees, and animals can cause damage to power lines or equipment);
  • Repairing, maintenance or upgrades on power lines and equipment.

What are the Top Outage Safety Tips?

  • Stay away from the downed power lines, park vehicles in protected areas;
  • Unplug appliances and electronics, limit cell phone use to conserve battery life;
  • Use portable generators outdoors only, well away from open windows and doors;
  • Pack perishable foods into a cooler, keep refrigerator and freezer doors shut as much as possible.
