LONGVIEW, Texas — Nearly all power has been restored in the Longview area after a widespread outage took power at city of Longview facilities and intersections Wednesday. 

The city of Longview said Wednesday afternoon many city offices and facilities have power back.

SWEPCO data shows that about 30 people are without power in Gregg County as of 5 p.m. Wednesday. 

The city of Longview reported earlier several facilities and many intersections are without power Wednesday morning because of a widespread power outage. 

In a statement obtained by our news partners, the Longview News-Journal, SWEPCO gave the estimated restoration of 4 p.m. but the company also said many people could see their power restored much sooner. 

Residents are also urged to use caution while driving because many intersections are without power. The city will provide updates as more information becomes available.

Drivers should treat these intersections as four-way stops.
