Heavy thunderstorms knocked out power across Bexar County, and the CPS outage map showed more than 8,322 homes without electricity as of 9 a.m. Monday. For people checking whether their block was affected, the map was the only live view of how far the outages had spread.
The disruption followed severe weather that brought heavy rain, strong winds and dangerous lightning overnight and into the morning. Utility crews were dispatched to assess damage and restore service as quickly and safely as possible.

By 9 a.m., the outages stretched across more than 60 separate locations. That scale points to scattered damage rather than one isolated failure, which is why the outage map mattered to customers trying to see whether their area was still listed.
CPS Energy crews kept working through the day. By 7 p.m. Monday, power had been restored to a majority of CPS customers.

The remaining gap was small but still real. CPS Energy said 58 customers were still without service Monday evening, even after most homes had come back online.
For affected readers, the practical next step was to keep checking the CPS Energy Outage Map for restoration updates instead of assuming a neighborhood-wide fix had already reached every address. A majority restored by evening did not mean every outage location had cleared at the same pace.
Overnight and into Monday
A Flash Flood Warning had been issued for parts of Bexar and Medina counties until 6 a.m. Saturday, and the storms that followed set up the outage pattern that carried into Monday. The unresolved question is which outage locations were tied to the last 58 customers and when full restoration would finish.
