In “Weathering Austin’s Next ‘Unprecedented’ Winter Storm” (News, March 17), the article incorrectly noted 2,400 miles of distribution lines. Those are the primary lines; adding secondary services and streetlight service, there are altogether 5,000 miles of distribution lines that are still aboveground. The Chronicle regrets the error.
