Ok if you were out having dinner in The Woodlands the other day and noticed it busier than normal. Well this may have changed the dinner plans of a few folks unless they had back up generators. Now, I have heard of my clients getting genertors, but most of those are in more rulal areas, not the subburbs like the Woodlands.[Hey this is Houston we do get huricanes you know] Well if you need more infor about generators let me know I could post some stuff about that. Other wise this oh that was what was going on for those in the Alden Bridge Area. But this had not thing do with buying or selling real estate in the Alden Bridge or The Woodlands.

A power outage on Jan. 27 left 3,941 Entergy customers in The Woodlands without electricity for more than an hour because of faulty equipment.
The Woodlands Fire Department Station 4 received a call from joggers who reported seeing smoke coming from a switch cabinet on the corner of Alden Bridge and Research Forest Drive.

TWFD Driver Operator Paul Stanley said Engine 2 and Engine 104 responded to the scene.

“When we got to the scene there was no fire, so we waited for Entergy officials to de-energize the power lines until the problem could be fixed,” Stanley said.

According to Derrick the electricity was turned off 5:43 p.m., power was restored to all customers by 7:21 p.m.
Derrick said the problem was caused by faulty equipment in the switch cabinet.

The power outage spanned throughout the Village of Alden Bridge.

Alden Bridge resident Tony Angelo said the moment the electricity went out he asked his wife if she had paid the electricity bill.

Derrick said the problem was fixed and the electricity was turned back on without having to reroute customers
