Utilities tracked in Harris County include CenterPoint Energy — Houston Electric; confirm your own provider, then use its outage line or website. Reporting a downed line helps crews find the fault faster. In a life-threatening emergency, call 911.
Does this page show Tomball specifically, or the whole county?
Both, and for Tomball we have the city-level view: CenterPoint Energy — Houston Electric has published outages for Tomball under its own name, most recently seen on 2026-08-16.

How accurate is the restoration estimate?
Every estimate is later graded against when the tracked outage was substantially restored (~90% of customers back), and the track record is published on our accuracy page. Estimates firm up a few hours into an outage once a steady restoration trend appears; very small outages are marked "too small to estimate" rather than guessed.
