Over 1,000 residents in Windsor Park were without power at 8 a.m. and 281 Rollingwood residents were without power most of the morning, but have since had power restored. As of 11 a.m., there are about 70,000 power outages in the state.

Crews are working on local outages as they are primarily caused by ice on power lines or falling trees on power lines.

State leaders said earlier this week the state power grid was prepared for the storm and residents shouldn't expect rolling blackouts as seen last year in Winter Storm Uri.

A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until 9 p.m. today, in which Austin can expect more rain, freezing rain and sleet.
