DALLAS, Feb. 14 (UPI) -- Nearly 52,000 residents in the Dallas and Fort Worth, Texas, area were still without power Sunday after a record snowstorm, an Oncor spokeswoman said.
A spokeswoman for the utility told the Dallas Morning News while power was restored to some homes following last week's storm, the timetable for restoration of all service remains undetermined.
Oncor spokeswoman Jeamy Molina said the company's crews were working around the clock to get power back to the tens of thousands of residents affected.
Dallas Department of Street Services director Gilbert Aguilar confirmed street crews have responded to nearly 400 of the estimated 700 emergency calls his office received since the snowstorm began Thursday.
The storm deposited 12.5 inches of snow on Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport.
Aguilar said a majority of the phone calls involved fallen trees and limbs littering roads.
"This is the worst one I have seen, aside from the New Year's Eve storm -- that was an ice storm -- in '79," he told the Morning News.
