    I've lost track of how many days I've been without power. I have been staying at a motel, thinking power would be restored pretty quickly. My health isn't good enough to bake in the heat and humidity for that long. Going to take me a LONG time to recover financially.

    We have No Power 😢 our H‑E‑B is almost empty and our nearest gas station in 5 miles but they have no gas. We haven’t been able to leave our home due to our pets bcz the cooling centers are not accepting pets near our home. We paid $13,300 in property taxes last year. $400 a month in electric bills. Our money is not being managed correctly by the upstairs suits. Please 🙏 pray for us.

    I have relatives who were supposed to get power yesterday according to the outage map, and they are still without power. They are staying with other relatives. In May, my mom’s friend was out of power for a week, and that wasn’t even a hurricane. It was a derecho or whatever they called it.

We live in upstairs apartment so we can't even keep windows open or my kids could fall out. Can't afford a hotel. Bucees was raising the prices on their hot food because they knew people needed hot food and couldn't cook. Those old idiot bozos are in their nice AC office talking about losing money.
