KHOU 11 News asked how long it would take for the outage map to be fixed.
State officials said it's because they can't send patients to homes without power, causing a big backlog.
Acting Texas Governor Dan Patrick said some patients are stuck at hospitals because they can't be released to homes that don't have power. So now the state is sending 25 ambulances to transport patients to NRG Arena. That's where a facility will be set up with 250 hospital beds. Patrick says it'll free up space at hospitals for new patients.
In addition, LBJ Hospital lost power during the storm and its backup generator failed. That forced the hospital to cancel two emergency surgeries. Those patients were sent to other hospitals for the procedures.
