Saturday night, Mid South Synergy reported less than 600 customers in Montgomery County are powerless.

Also, officials say 95 percent of Mid South's service area is back up and energized. That's about 16,500 customers.

As for Entergy-Texas, Grimes County had just 161 customers left powerless Saturday afternoon, but Entergy says they're all online now.

Walker County is down to 920 customers powerless as of Saturday night.

Montgomery County still has a little ways to go, as more than 11,000 are still out at last check. However, the Lewis Creek Power Plant is back up and running according to Entergy, so power is slowly being restored.
