Messing with a line worker is like attacking a firefighter who’s putting the fire on your house out. Makes absolutely zero sense.
Exactly!!!!!!!😏
People get a little nutters with no shower no sleep
Exactly 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
No, it’s not. It’s taking them seven days. It’s getting ridiculous. We overpay for electricity and this provider they should’ve done better. They had seven days in advance before the storm and it’s only a cat one. It’s bullshit and you’re covering for them. Do not compare line workers to firefighters, my father was a Houston firefighter. They’re not the same they will never be the same firefighter save lives, not lineman.
You’re ignorant lol the only reason the grid gets fixed is lineman they are needed. And essential. They are the backbone pussy you do this type of work you couldn’t hack two hours outside. You deserve to be without power. You cannot blame a lineman for management issues. But stupid ppl like you don’t have much of a brain to start
Thank you linemen for helping to restore the electricity, unfortunately this large city does have bad apples.
blacks. you mean blacks
Yup same sort of apples in every town.
I feel so bad for these guys who are here from out of town. God bless you all. Thank you for helping us out in our time of need.
I apologize for their actions. Please forgive our city in this crazy actions. This is not the Houston i know. We are kind and generous. You have the good people of Houston here for you. We're so sorry. 😢
This is an absolute embarrassment as a Texan native from Houston! Do better, be better! We are known for our southern hospitality! To everyone everywhere, don't judge an entire city by a few idiots! God bless the linemen!
Spineless bootlicker
I agree. If I wherethereeifht now I'd be getting cokes and what burgers. That must be horrid working those long days in the heat.
@@BrianShea-ek3fv we took them cold bottled waters as soon as we say them in our neighborhood.
Even Floridians behave better after a hurricane!
You couldn’t of said it better
God bless all the hard working Americans helping restore our energy 🙏🏻🤍
Who the hell harassing utility workers?
Me deal with it
Everyone
I heard it was them Silverado dudes with the loud exhaust and accordion weird music
Probably the usual suspects.
🥷
We appreciate the workers getting out there in this heat to fix the power lines and climbing to high extremes to fix the lines❤❤
It’s so sad that these workers are being treated this way- I know it’s a difficult hot summer and I feel for the people who have been without power- please let workers do their jobs!!!!!
How freaking embarrassing!!! Act right ppl!!! The lineman need to teach a lesson & leave!
I saw the trucks and support groups in the Berry Center parking lot early this morning. I wished it had been possible to tell them thank you. I am one of the lucky ones who got power back early on day 4. I know how miserable just those few days were, so I can understand people feeling frustrated. However, threats against the very people who are trying to get your power back on is counter productive as well as horrific. What the heck is wrong with some people?
The don't believe in God and have NO protection against demons. Demons are running RAMPANT in people these days.
Well we thank you! I'm one of the support personal and will gladly pass it on to the rest of everyone here. We've been running on 4 hours of sleep just to make sure everyone is set, and the relocation didn't help at all 😅
@@KarterBigs Please do. I hope everyone knows that the vast majority of us are very grateful for the work all of you are doing. Those few that are causing problems make us all look bad. Thank you all so much!
praying for line workers..God bless
This is embarrassing, Houston has never acted like this before,it must be the transplants who moved here.
It is.
Outside cities he said Sugarland
More us vs them rhetoric. Houston didn’t even have enough cops or line workers and need “transplanted” help
@@crw1946ain't our fault the locals have no useful skills
Your funny.
On behalf of the fools, I apologize for a few bad apples!!! I personally thank you for working so hard, and giving of yourself so selflessly. My heart is breaking to hear that gentleman’s voice get emotional. God bless you all. Prayers for strength and peace of mind. Houston is better than this. 🙏
We some in our neighborhood and we waved at them and they honked at us! I love it that they're here to help us out. Houston sucks sometimes but not all of us are like that.
Thank you linemen and power workers!
Why bother the workers?
It makes no sense!
Dummies
Yes ppl are stupid to do this worker are helping the community
People are emboldened because everyone has a GUN
For real if they decide to say screw ya then no one will have power
Send out the NATIONAL GUARD.
So they can do what? They won’t be able to do more than the local law enforcement.
Let them men and women work .... we know we need our lights 💡....
Ain't no women good try though
I appreciate anyone who works under these types of conditions. Thank you all. My neighborhood is still without power as of 6:30pm Sunday the 14th. There are a lot of trees causing havoc on the restoration of the power lines. It’s apparent behind my house in the utility easement. Broken poles with transformers and downed lines mangled and damaged amongst the trees. I’ll wait patiently. 😏
I’m just believe this craziness. I have friends from out of Texas who came in to help. They’re fielder and lineman. Some of them have left and went home. HOUSTON STOP BEING HOOD. I still don’t have power. If I see one person hassling this people. I’m off on them. LET THESE PEOPLE WORK ! 😢
Kudos to the linemen and to the law enforcement! Many thanks!
The workers are working! Or you wouldn’t find them.
@1:34 Mr. Ed Allen got me in tears 😢
You know he’s pissed about this stuff.
Thank you line man all the way from Florida. And the many other lines man from all the tribes came through to help.‼️🙏🏽
Been through Ike, Harvey, Alison and many more. People didn’t behave like this! This city has changed in the last few years!
It's all these liberals moving in from Democrat States
I'm very grateful to all of you for coming to help!!! If Houstonians don't know how to act, I say leave and go home safely. Be humble people. Give them love and passion. Ever heard, "you get more bees with honey." Feed them and love on them. If we are ever in these shoes again, I wouldn't blame anyone for not wanting to come help because the few bad apples are burning bridges.
7 days of no AC during the worst time in summer, will bring the worst out of people.
What about the people working 16 hrs a day and going home to no electricity,
@@antifaslayer We all work long hours and go home to no electricity. Its not just the line workers working 16 hours 🤦♂ Not to mention they're taking advantage of the situation by requesting higher wages
People once lived here with no electricity. Being uncomfortable and inconvenienced is no excuse for behaving like child bullies. Texans pull together when things get tough.
All they do is sit in those trucks hardly any of them work
@zatticus2281 come work with us I sit in the truck out to job and 9 pm to go in ,oh you probably don't work
On behalf of Houstonians everywhere, I would like to apologize for the actions of sabotage. Also like to thank you for your hard work to get the lights on. Despite the incompetence of the higher-ups of the Centerpoint, and the ignorance of these local saboteurs, you remained persistent by putting boots to pavement and making sure the residents lights are restored. For that, I thank you! ❤
Do better folks! These guys ( line men, tree men ext.. ) leave their homes to help! HELP! They do not have to. And to be treated this way by the public is disgraceful! When this happens again and no one comes to help thank your public. Protect our men and women helping!
Thank you on behalf of my family!!
Just Prayed❤ for The Protection And Safety for Everyone who is trying to Help. Lineman, Police and Fireman…..❤❤❤ In The Mighty Name of
JESUS AMEN And Amen🙌 We Thank you!!! ❤❤
John 3:16 KJV
The heat is making people go crazy .
We were working out of Barnett. It was right next to the work area and close to our hotels. Now we have over a hour drive to get to staging giving us 2 hours less of sleep
My father worked for CPE for 30 years. Working in the elements day in and day out to provide for us. The way people are acting towards line men is disgusting and uncalled for. It makes houston look bad.
I am older and witnessing the downfall of the society now big time! I don’t remember the finger pointing or hearing about the criminal activity after hurricane IKE hit in 2008!
Are these actual citizens who are messing with line workers? Doesn't sound like citizens would be doing this. Definitely not Houstonians. So what's really going on
People should just be respectful n just wait
Y’all need to understand that the workers didn’t cause this problem. The workers you see out on the streets are the ones you should be helping and supporting. It’s the bosses of their bosses you need to be blaming.
These workers are simply doing their jobs and have no control over who gets power in what order or the issues the company faces.
Thank you for helping us.
I see on the News other states during fire season locals folks giving drinks or cooking some food to support the fire fighters.
Because they are saving their lively hood. If you want do something postive, help your neighbors and family members.
Be part of the cure. Be a Christian army, even if it's moving stuff out of yards and stuff blocking walkways. Avoid all wires. I live in the NorthWest, things shouldn't take be that different.
The problem is CenterPoint for failing to update, maintain, or improve our wiring. Space City with sticks holding our wiring up.
Money for AKs but no money for generators or essentials. Let that sink in.
Money doesn’t equal high I.Q.
They’re not preppers.
@@Racso-tb4bs preppers*
You're not very bright. Let that sink in.
@@habibifather7681 thanks
Thank you for your help i feel bad for both workers 😢😢
National Guard is needed to help keep the linemen safe.
Not really.
Shut up, you are calling fir Marshall law!
Martial law is good for the hoodlums@@pennywebb9546
Guard can't help you, they at the border
Please leave the lineman alone and let them do there job to help us thank you lineman for helping us
“Winters are getting colder” where at ?
I think one person talking at this conference is enough, everyone is saying the same thing😑
This dude gave a banging speech😊
Shoutout to my neighbors who were kind enough to run an extension cord to my house so I can power a fan. Getting to know my neighbors has been the best thing of this entire situation. I hope that everyone reading this has received power, or will soon have power. While I don’t have power yet neither, I pray for everyone who doesn’t. Let’s come together, and overcome this adversity with love and compassion.
Shame on you Kingwood residents! Really?
This should inspire some Houstonians to get into electrical industry.
Thank you RUclips for taking down what wasn't right
Sure you got lazy people every Job but you CANNOT blame lineman for management issues. These guys are the backbone much love to my brothas and sister out there in the heat I know because I work in fiber and it’s hot af up there
Thank you for all you all do for us ... Ky....
Wait until you see the upcharge on your bills just for helping us.
You think so?
@@vibinghigh2711 guaranteed.
exactly!
That is sad to hear from Houston people. Those people causing havoc has got to be people moving in from other countries, never heard of that kind of harassment from Houstonions , before. Sad to say Houston needs to pray more for Houston we are a God fearing country. And it needs to keep it that way.
These are people from Houston, remember, everyone in Texas has a GUN
@Helena....why do you say we are a God fearing country? America is no longer a God fearing nation. Everything that God calls wrong...we now call right...etc. I'm a native Houstonian,born and raised,but let's be honest,there is lots of wickedness in this city. All I see and hear, is people getting angry, and pointing fingers. No pastors having press conferences to pray and be thankful to God. 2 Chronicles 7:14...If my people, who are called by my name,will humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways,then I will hear from Heaven, and I will forgive their sin, and heal their land. Just my 2 cents.... Shalom 🎉
@@ATDNATIONAL America was founded on SLAVERY, exploitation, genocide, deception, and wickedness....it was never a Christian nation....all these issues are KARMA....
So am I a born in Houston, Texas. And ur right to call me out on that, I should really be saying we use to be a God fearing Nation. But now it is becoming everyday like Sadomma and Gommora and God is going to destroy this Nation, and I fear that so I do pray 2 Chronicles 7:14 upon this Nation. But if u think back a few years back when then Mayor Sylvester Turner, allowed Hollywood stars to come and perform here in Houston, Texas they brought all kinds of evil and wickedness into this Nation.This is the only county that has 24 Christian music and prayer 7 days a week. And u are right false profits in every church, and people need to cry out to God for Mercy and Grace upon this Nation. If you look on tube for The Church of the Lord Jesus' Christ in Splendora, Texas you will receive the true Word and knowledge of God. A word not taught in any other church. So I pray u tune in to hear the word of God, that will save your Soul. And receive this invitation to the Church of the Lord Jesus' Christ. God loves you and wants to save your Soul . This is like no other word, were the Spirit of God will give you life. Thank You Jesus'.
Says online Texas is the #9 dumbest state what do u expect from a place like that and on top of that they haven't ban guns
I still dont have power. This is ridiculous.
Now you understand where's the value of a "shelter" is at! 😂 Need to ask your landlord for your money back, they've been stealing these essential workers' pay from your hand! 😂
Thank you all
13/90
I hate to hear that these workers have been mistreated like this. 🥺 💔
Don’t blame Houston he said sugarland where the gun was pulled I know our city was hit but don’t blame us for the gun incidents
Which areas in Houston were out of electricity? Sugarland was, too?
Sugar Land and all of Fort Bend county was definitely lights out and some parts went out again!
@@gemini_man66 oh, thank you. That's pretty big areas. I hope ya'll getting power back soon..
@@COMPUTER.SCIENCE. Harris county is the biggest county affected, but the surrounding counties were also proportionately affected.
Praying for my city !!
Dang icant stop my tears for u guys ....
Im in shock and awe over this really bothers me😢
No wonder i seen law enforcement sitting close by the linemen
Thanks for the power from Baytown god bless you we were suffering thanks so much
Houston is a hellhole.... I lived there for a while, I could wait to get the hell out of there.....
It’s embarrassing, I know guys who will not go back and it breaks my heart
Godbless these workers... Plz have patience ppl tearful thought....
It sounds like folks are mad at the company, but taking it out on the people actually doing the front end work. If that is the case, then go after the people in offices (legally of course).
No one talking about the guy that died in Atascocita a couple years ago from trimming trees off power lines in his back yard. That the people pay for to be done in regular!
Thank you for all you do
This is what happens when you have entitled people who demand things but can’t figure out how to act appropriately. I’m guessing these people who are acting like this are the same people who feel entitled to free 💩
This is y'all's fought for not being honest with the people of Houston and don't even use this as an excuse for y'all's actions and still many without power.
Hard to believe, I only witnessed great respect and appreciation for the line workers during the outage. This sounds like typical MAGA gun freaks out here in Texas welcome to our life.
It doesn’t help that the politicians are arguing and pointing the blame. All of this is nonsense.
One good thing no bs
.. about being or becoming a real shipper and Port of entry etc....can not be bought or sold ok
The darks can be irrational like when they are at a fast food restaurant.
#hurricanecode #hurricanecode #hurricanecode #hurricanecode settle for nothing less. Houston deserves real leadership.
Haha what a script! Now u want to blame the people. Smh
You must be black
@@notsure1872You sound very sad. I'm not black by the way however, it seems you'd rather attack someone personally instead of staying within the confines of the discussion at hand: CenterPoint f'ed up, the City of Houston and the Fort Bend County gov't f'ed up and are now gaslighting the gen pop. Not a good look especially if they were either incompetent, negligent, or allowed it to happen. Either way, they Failed.
The bad thing about being or becoming a real shipper and Port of entry etc...can not buy or sell other... Real shipper's and Port's of Entry etc no bs
Oh heavens, when we have big power outages here we thank the line people, we especially thank the ones from out of town. We tend to have winter outages rather than summer outages. In one area with a lot of assorted line problems, those with generators and coffee pots brewed coffee, those with cups contributed (even if they were plastic football party cups), and we didnt complain abiut the noise nor strobe lights through the night like they did in some actual neighborhoods.
It happened more than once when we were in that area and during one of the outages when the out of state crew was asked if they could go elsewhere until morning, we invited them to our area and broke out the coffee yet once again. In the end, they stayed and fixed a lot of the hacked together junctions, joins, and jumpers; we were never so good as we were afterwards. A number of this crew had been taking sleeping rotations in thier trucks in area parking lots. We assured them that if they could and would stay in our area (and keep from being redeployed elsewhere until they had visual confirmation power was actually on) we would find places for thier trucks to park through thier sleeping rotations. A couple of folks down the way with longer driveways even offered thier driveways and to park else where themselves. - Anything to ease the workers to get the power back on as soon as possible with an every neighborhood/ area for themselves attitude.
Didnt they know they was coming to the wild wild west texas ? Somebody didnt do their homework .
i saw one line say he was given Fentanyl laced water.
Everybody in Houston knows this happened in the ghetto parts of town.
Maybe if the police were doing there jobs, instead of parked behind business that are closed.
Then you have a press conference with the police!
Key word …. Minority
Ed Allen!! You are Great Soul. Thank yo
U see the dates about IRS government officials no bs smh now think about that as a taxpayer for u and your house hold no bs only
Is this an excuse to push back dates? It's hard to believe people suffering would harass workers on the field helping us. I hope they don't push back dates because I dont think we can survive until the 16th
That is not the H Town way !!!!!
It's the usual suspects way...
@@habibifather7681 this is why we need abortion
Some 🎮 not sold...maybe told ... especially and depends how the 🎲 rolls
Why are they mad at them?
Smh they making up excuses smh bad and been messing up no bs
Iv nver heard of this before such a great force of wk getting attacked .. im sorry and shocked to hear it ...its awful....
The Woodlands no power and 30 trucks sitting in a parking lot lot doing absolutely nothing and that’s what I’ve seen for days and days
Union
@@chrisruiz1215derp
This is who you are.
WTF is wrong with people??
We lineman work on the largest man made machine the electric grid. It was not built in a day and when storms tare it up it can't be fixed in a day I'm a proud IBEW lineman
Hoods had better not tangle wit linemen from eastern Kentucky. Those men don't take no shee-it. Think Hatfields and McCoys. It's a real thing.
