Power and weather behind internet outages in Corpus Christi
AEP Texas customers averaged 228 minutes without power in 2024, across 1.63 interruptions each, against 1,271 minutes for Texas as a whole. Cable nodes and fiber cabinets run on batteries that last hours, not days, so a long power cut can take internet down even for homes whose own power has returned. See Corpus Christi power outages when both go out together.
Nueces County logged 333 storm reports since 2015, most often flash flood, thunderstorm wind, and flood. Reports peak in May. Power outages were named in 10 of those storm episodes. Wind, ice and flooding damage poles and buried lines, which is how a storm turns into an internet outage as well as a power outage.
Fiber reports reach 61.9% of Corpus Christi homes, cable 96.6% and copper lines 22.3%. Where fiber runs to the home, a red or blinking LOS light on the optical terminal points to a line problem that a restart will not fix.
