While more than 75% of North Texas power outages were restored by Thursday morning, there were still more than 120,000 homes and businesses in the dark.
If any business needs electricity, it's a chocolate maufacturer like CocoAndre Chocolatier in Oak Cliff.
"As soon as the temperature hit 86 you could feel it in here," owner Cindy Pedraza said. "It got to like 76 in here, which is still OK for chocolate, but it's not the best."
They scrambled to find a generator, a portable air conditoner, and some fans as they await the restoration of electricity.
Herby's Burgers is also doing what it can to keep from losing inventory and to keep serving customers. They've resorted to using propane to heat the grill.
"We started out as pop-up style, so it's pretty easy for us to just get back into that," general maanger Olivia Hargrave said.
Oncor is working feverishly to restore power knocked out not just by Tuesday's storms but by the weekend tornadoes in Cooke, Dennton and Collin counties.
"Personnel that were assigned to those areas, they'll be moving down to the metro region and areas that were impacted by Tuesday's storms," Oncor's Grant Cruz said. "We're asking for peopele's patience becaused we're still kind of in the thick of it."
Cruz said it could be Friday or Saturday before everyone is reconnected.
