- 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.
460,000 ACCOUNTS... not customers... some homes have 3 to 5 people living in them. The number is easily over 1 million.
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.
what about the goldfish and hamsters?! 🫤
Not people-customers. Our condo complex has about 300 people but we are one customer.
There was a place for low income elderly that didn't have power till yesterday. When someone called they thought the entire building was one hoke
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.
Don't boo Vote blue.
@@burtcooper612 a down power line is a public safety hazard and needs to be addressed ASAP
@@gm7304 Neither party cares about you unless you're a Ukrainian an Israeli or a donor
even at this age 'I'm speechless'
Houston is way overrated. Im Day 7 no power and when it rains even a small amount it floods.
This is ridiculous. There are no words anymore! Such a failure on every level. Oh Houston, yes we have MANY PROBLEMS!!!!!!!
Why in the world is there still a pole smoking???? Get it together Houston. Get these people power.
This city is creazy!!!!
The city does not run operate or repair the electric utility here. How do you people not know this?
houston is not the same as centerpoint
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...
They report the numbers they are given. They are not misrepresenting anything.
@@williamwilson6499the person is illustrating nuance here and the problem, misrepresentation of facts. Your comment tries to dumb things back down , why?
what does being gay have to do with anything, even in a disaster you cant get away from it!
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
cry a river
That's what I was wondering. Trust me straight people and even straight white people are without power believe it or not
That was my thought too, who cares, gay has nothing to do with electrical power distribution!
@@ericeiber4911 that’s homophobic
We have been without power the full time. This is unprecedented for a category 1 storm.
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 ?!?
The map is a joke
They need to provide fans, water, cooling blankets, and food to everyone without power and a disability next time
Who is they? How about buying your own crap and stop depending on other people.
Texas you don’t have power what will a fan do.
@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
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.
No power hot af
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.
Conroe area is entergy not cp. They keep leaving entergy customers out
@@user-lp5ci9bi2j yeah my son is entergy , he’s in the woodlands but he got his power back Wednesday around 11am
That number is way off. They claim my whole side of town is good but it is in fact not.
Yes I do not believe they are including the nested outages
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
is Greg Abbott still screwing around in S.Korea Yes He is.
What does this has to the with the Governor if this is a private company not a State funded company tf is wrong with you.
This is on center point, not the government smh. I wish yall would pay attention before complaining and blaming
Where’s Lena….hiding in her bunker saying it’s not me.
@@julioescobar4946 Abbott is S.Korea paying for services he can't get here in the states 👠😉
@@jlynnc9559 She's definitely not hiding.
Thank you and shout out to Houston county. They got our power back on in 4 hours. They always do. Thanks again.
I hate it when the media says "people" instead of "customers".....this tells me there are still 1.5 million PEOPLE without electricity
poor people 😢 idont have power too
Wya🤔🤔
Rip to the people that were let down by their city😢
They zesty as hell
Customers are not people. Geez. Do an average of 2 people per customer. Customer is just an address.
0:35 Why does it matter that they’re LGBT? That doesn’t make you vulnerable to heat unlike age.
Exactly like wth
I hope yall brought them some water and snacks at least
We are in Wharton we got our power today at 3pm. Many others in our town stiil in the dark
We are in Aldine Bender Road. We were told iwe will have power on the 14 night (end of the way). It is 15th Monday morning but no power.
SMH they just got to push the gay agenda no matter what
Lol
😂😂😂
Centerpointless power alert update is pure bull! You get ZERO update! Stop providing useless directions
21st century problems smh
Why is the fact that they’re in the alphabet soup community supposed to be relevant here?
That they are elderly is important. That they are LGBTQ is not.
I really didn't understand that
Montrose?
Trucks arrived here this morning and still no power at this gas station 😮😮
They aren't giving updates to anyone with a nest outage. Why is kprc kissing cp butt? People are telling yall and you dont listen
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
Buck up, Tex…you voted for it.
We voted for our power to shut down for weeks?
@@Atom00000yes, inadvertently we did not knowing that they were going to devalue our property and swoop in to buy it for dirt cheap
I wont be getting power until wed :(
Me too I’m in humble 😢😢😢
Texas is like Porto Rico, Poor infrastructure 😅
Am I going to live out in the dark with the hot weather that’s still outside with no tv and food? Oh, Hell NO!
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
What?? This happened because of not enough gov’t regulations
Please lady shut up your prob not even from Houston STFU
@eliashernandez9879 got brains?
Well we know the who is getting a big fine an will have to resign 😂
How people adjust with the changing environment 🐕🏫
This is what you voted for when you elected Hidalgo. She refused assistance before and after the hurricane.
This!!!!
And then asked every day folks to become their own tree removal service.
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🤔
Whose fault was it when this s--t happened 16 years ago with Ike?
I’m not in Houston but I call the governors ofc every day to tell them to do SOMETHING!!! Help these ppl! This is just heartbreaking!!
I see Greg Abbott is still missing
Centerpoint don't care is what it seems 🤦♂️.
If yall can, move out of Houston people
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…
People or customer
Did the guv ever come back?
There is a LT governor, he is out on business. What the hell is he going to do?
@@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”
But they’ll still vote against their own best interests.
God help us all. 🙏🇺🇲❤️🤍💙⚖️🌎
