This is the Monday morning (0800) SITREP from Grok:

Question: As of Monday (January 26, 2026) are there any remaining power outages in Texas Red River, Lamar, adjacent Oklahoma counties, Texas Fannin or Collin County Texas? If so please provide available details, preferred reporting options (links) and links for graphical maps.
Answer: As of Monday, January 26, 2026 (around early morning CST), there are some remaining power outages in the specified areas following the recent winter storm, though numbers have decreased significantly from peak levels over the weekend. The storm caused widespread issues earlier (e.g., thousands affected in some counties on Jan 24-25), but restoration efforts have progressed.
Texas Counties:
Red River County: Yes, outages remain. Approximately 698 customers are without power (about 7.51% of tracked customers in the county).
Lamar County: Yes, outages remain. Approximately 1,901 customers are without power (about 6.48% of tracked customers in the county). Note that Lamar County Electric Cooperative (a key provider there) shows 0 outages in its specific service area per one aggregator, but overall county data indicates residual impacts—likely from other providers or pockets.
Fannin County: No specific mentions of significant or remaining outages in recent reports or aggregators for this date; it appears minimal or resolved in covered areas (not highlighted among impacted counties).
Collin County: Minimal outages. Oncor (primary provider for much of Collin) reports low county-level impacts overall (e.g., single-digit or very low customer counts in recent views), with statewide Oncor outages around 8,500+ total but not concentrated here. Earlier storm reports showed very few in Collin (e.g., under 100 at peaks).
Adjacent Oklahoma Counties (e.g., Choctaw, McCurtain, Bryan, Marshall, Love counties bordering the Red River area): Very minimal statewide in Oklahoma (only ~249 total customers out across the entire state, or 0.01%). McCurtain County has a small number (59), but border counties like Choctaw, Bryan, Marshall, and Love show no reported outages. Texoma region reports indicate the grid held up well overall, with only pockets affected earlier.

Grok end.
Yesterday we made contact with a little over 30 Club members to confirm who had power and who did not. Two members were on generator power and one member (away on a business trip) had his family in a hotel because their power was out.
We did not reach a number of members. If you receive an email telling you about this update and have not spoken or texted with a Club officer, please spare us having to chase you down and call or text me your status.
