HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- As an arctic cold front sweeps across the state, many Texans are concerned about whether the power will stay on.

The Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) says there is enough power to meet the demand, but still, thousands of customers across Texas are without power.

As of 11:20 a.m. Thursday, over 70,000 customers were without power in Texas. You can check the number of outages in real-time at poweroutage.us.

Most of the outages were reported in north Texas.

In the Houston area, CenterPoint Energy was reporting about 500 customers without power. You can check CenterPoint outages on the utilities company website.

Not so bad here in Houston but I hear it is going to get to freezing tomorrow in the AM. We have been having some rain so if it keeps up it is going to be an icy mess. People in Houston cannot drive on the ice basically if there is ice the whole city shuts down.
