Over a million Texas homes and businesses are without electricity days after Beryl made landfall, but there is no word on when power will be stored to Texas homes and thousands could be left without power a week after the storm made landfall.
Beryl passed through Texas on Monday and as of 6:50 a.m. CT Thursday, 1.3 million Texas homes and businesses remain without power, according to poweroutage.us.
Beryl made landfall as a Category 1 hurricane early Monday morning. It then traveled across the eastern part of the state before dissipating to a tropical storm and continuing its path towards Arkansas.
The number of people without power is lower than on Monday when 2.7 million people were reported to be without power.

When will power be restored?
Thousands of CenterPoint customers could be without power a week after the storm passed through, reports ABC 13.
1.1 million people could have their power restored by Sunday, CenterPoint said in a statement. It estimates that 400,000 customers will have power restored by Friday and 350,000 by Sunday, but 400,000 will remain without electricity a week after the storm made landfall.
"CenterPoint's electric customers are encouraged to enroll in Power Alert Service to receive outage details and community-specific restoration updates as they become available," it stated. "For information and updates, follow @CenterPoint for updates during inclement weather events."

CenterPoint released a map detailing where and when power will be restored.
Harris, Fort Bend and Brazoria have the highest numbers of outages, with Harris having nearly a million, according to the website.
Biden declares disaster declaration
On Tuesday, President Joe Biden approved a major disaster declaration for Texas.
"The greatest concern right now is the power outages and extreme heat that is impacting Texans," said Biden in a statement. "As you all know, extreme heat kills more Americans than all the other natural disasters combined."
The Red Cross has set up shelters across the affected area and is inviting people to come in, even if it's to escape the heat for the day.
"We want folks to understand that, with there being more than 2 million or so without power in this area that they can come to these shelters even if they're not going to stay overnight, even if they haven't sustained damage to their homes," Stephanie Fox, the national spokesperson for the American Red Cross in Fort Bend County, Texas, previously told USA TODAY.
