According to numbers provided by Mid South Synergy and Entergy, here are customers of those companies that are without power as of Sunday night:

Entergy (according to entergy-texas.com):
- Montgomery County: 129,495
- Walker County: 15,204
- Grimes County: 7,607
- Madison County: 4,218
- Robertson County: 3,475
- Burleson County: 1,907
- Leon County: 555
- Milam County: 284
- Washington County: 110
- Brazos County: 39

In all, nearly 400,000 Entergy customers are out of power in Southeast Texas.

Mid South (estimates according to a company spokesperson):
- Montgomery County - 6,000
- Walker County - 1,500
- Grimes County - 400
- Madison County - 300-400

Mid South has made progress in the aftermath of the storm, but Montgomery County restoration could take more time due to Entergy system problems that are affecting Mid South.

As a sidenote, power companies designate a "customer" as a business or a household. The number of individuals without power is likely much greater. For example, a family of four may be out of power, but since they live in one home, they count as one customer.

BTU has great service. Thanks to all the hardworking lineman who keep things going! They probably haven't slept much in the last few days.

Since we have been with Entergy we have always had poor electrical services! We are often without lights more than we are with lights. Entergy needs to get their act together.

Why is Milam County not listed? The entire town of Gause, which is in Milam County, is without power.

We are in the Benchley area and we are on Entergy. It is hard to believe that everyone around us has electricity and those of us in the center have nothing. Why can't we have electricity from one of the neighboring companies until Entergy gets this fixed?

Not yet of Normangee, some areas in Flynn have power, they are telling Normangee up to 2 weeks, hopefully sooner. Water should be restored tonight. They have genartors comeing in from Louisana to run the water and sweage systems.

The city of Normangee is with out power, water and waste water. I talked to my parents and they are expecting to have water and sweage back some time tomorrow. Still no idea of when the power will be back on.

We have Mid-South. We thought our electricity would be out for days, but thanks to the good work of Mid-south employees, we were out for only 6 hours. Thanks Mid-South
