Over 4,000 power outages were reported Thursday across the Rio Grande Valley as of 10:45 p.m.

The power outages happened as the Valley experienced a severe thunderstorm that moved through the area. 

Outage maps from AEP Texas and Magic Valley Electric Cooperative show a total of 4,746 outages.

Nearly all of those power outages are in Hidalgo County.

In a social media post, MVEC said severe weather caused multiple downed utility poles. 

"Our crews are working through the aftermath to restore power as safely and quickly as possible," MVEC said on social media. "However, due to the severity of the damage, some members may experience extended outages."
