As work continues to restore power to the Houston area, some residents have been without electricity for nearly a week since Hurricane Beryl. T.J. Parker reports live with the latest updates and restoration efforts.
Many houses have more dogs than people too. I have power and my neighbors across the street don't. All it takes is a truck, and 500 people in an apartment complex I used to live and across the street from me would get power.
Day 7 reported down broken power line by my house 7 days ago! Called the cops and fire dept cause the tree was on fire ! They came and left and did nothing ! Since then I have called everyday and was able to report this to 3 people ! I have yet to see a truck come ! But yet everyday I see power trucks just driving by and the line is down as clear as day ! So what’s going on here ?
You can`t connect the thigh bone to the hip bone until you connect the neck bone to backbone. That`s basically how it works. I truly feel sorry for y`all.
if a 3rd party tree service doesn't get there in time to clear it up, line workers wait a bit and then move on to next area, so sadly your area might be pushed back to a bottom of the list. someone commented this after an argument broke out at a gas station parking lot because line workers were leaving without fixing anything and that was their explanation.
All of these local newscasters misrepresent the number of ACTUAL PEOPLE are without power -- the reported figures are for "customers" which conservatively translates at a much higher number -- 500K customers without power is really 500K times 2.75 people per electrical connection so still over 1MM without power...
@@williamwilson6499the person is illustrating nuance here and the problem, misrepresentation of facts. Your comment tries to dumb things back down , why?
Funny true story. In 2003 the big blackout hit Toronto and one of the nurses called in sick as he could not shower. Everyone was finding it funny until I said. "well he is g@y, perhaps he really needs a shower!". Ick 🙂Anyhow get over your biases
460,000 is what is listed on the restoration map and we all know that map is WRONG!!!!!!! Someone needs to press them for accurate information!!! Wtf is really going on ?!?
Somebody was lucky enough to be first and somebody, sadly, will be last. Please appreciate the folks working the lines to restore our safety and comfort. They are working hard in hot and dangerous conditions.
I don’t understand how electricity works. My mom lives in Houston city limits, in an apartment, no generator and she never loses power. Never lost power during Harvey, the 2021 winter storm, or hurricane beryl.
@user-ln7of9gs4s how about not everyone has the ability to do for themselves. Not everyone is privileged. I used to be poor as well and it was extremely hard to even feed my kids and when something like this happens we as humans are supposed to help eachother not put others down. Remember karma is a bit.... saying things like this, even behind a screen, will come back on you one day and when you need someone's help, no one will be there so that you can feel it
It’s more than tht it’s still 1 million ppl without. They lying abt the numbers tryna make themselves look like they’re making fast progress. You have the whole northside Humble, Kingwood, Porter, some parts of Spring, Klein so stop with the thousands, because it’s not it’s 1 million customers still without power.
How long has this been going on in Texas. Governor Abbott left Texas before the hurricane Beryl hit it. He said he doesn't know what's going on with the power grid he's been elected twice and still living now absolutely pitiful
They can’t seem to get the lights on in humble tx 77396 it’s been 7 days now we have been buying fast food daily no ac burning alive in our apartment in temps over 100 and 90s at night TURN THE GAWD DAMN LIGHTS ON MY LORD IM NOT A CUSTOMER IM A VICTIM
Ummm, she's in Harris County. And I'm in a whole different county around Houston ,like thousands of others, w/o power, soooo🤷🏾♀️ what does she have to do with the at least 5 other counties involved? I know, maybe it's above her🤔
This is what happens when you rely too much on the government and not be independent etc weveyrone needs to have at least 3 months of MRE food and a generator etc. also this administration wants to go green tesla vehicles etc
@@user-ln7of9gs4s. I guess he can start working as a lineman for Centerpoint 😂. We gotta laugh or we will just cry while we are all sweating We still don’t have power and the generator quit but as my Dad would say “this ain’t Normandy Beach”
Well… that happens… hurricanes are not just average showers… tall trees… people packed like sardines… it does happen!! They chose to live near the coast…
