It is an embarrassment if Cat 1 storms cause a lot of damage aside from flooding. The power system cutting off millions is third world standard which I experienced in banana republic hurricane. I have been through many hurricanes and never had damage to my properties because of the construction and prep.
Even with mild temperatures 45° - 60° the powergrid fails. Power outages Texas. But it seems for majority of Texans & the crippled Governor infrastructure is not a priority
1:54 Doesn't she realize you are suppose to stay at least 30 feet away from Power Lines? That is a VERY Dangerous assumption to make that they are De-energized.
These people live on the edge so we don't have to .. Don't know why it's hard to understand . Reporter's always in life or death situations. While we at home watching, yelling out safety tips to the TV.. Standing next to cables today. in Pakistan reporting tomorrow being held hostage.. Nothing new. Yall stress too much .
@@candicewitzkoske3155it’s not understandable… the amount of money they try and charge US for the repairs that’s on THEM.. they’ve had over 50 years to update the grid but procrastinate in doing so because this state can’t do anything that cost themselves money … they love to just raise taxes and prices but yet everything is built and made so cheap…
Grid power is no longer reliable at all in this area... it's past time to start lining roofs with solar panels people! Every single home needs to be as near to 100% independent from outside utilities as possible, because we cannot depend on those outside utilities to work anymore. Just saying. If you had a roof covered in solar today and an inverter heat pump to cool your house, you would have an air conditioned house today instead you are beginning to swelter in the intense summer sun instead! The way we been building out homes and powering them, just doesn't work well anymore. 😞
These people should quit their job. We were on vacation in Galveston and Houston leading up to Sunday right before the storm. They did a terrible job keeping the community advised of the catastrophe they were facing. Now look at them here to point at all the suffering and damage. How they sleep at night is beyond me.
Sorry the human race hasn’t figured out how to control or predict weather. I think only God is capable of that so far. Maybe just be better prepared next time and be a better human on principle instead of being weak and pointing fingers.
It's on you. You're in a coastal area during hurricane season and not checking weather. They'd been talking about this for at least ten days before Sunday.
