To think that's just a cat 1. They got lucky it wasn't stronger.
It’s sad because weather patterns were showing that it was supposed to die out and just be a storm. But it picked up steam inside
What sucks the most is having no power with this heat wave
A cat 1 storm knocks out this much power?
What is wrong with those power companies??
It was installed in the 19th century, Texas has its own power grid because they didn't want to have to mess with the feds.
It's a 19th century power grid put in by Edison power, it needs to be upgraded.
@@mocheeks709 Abbutt has them in his pocket which means they don’t ever have to upgrade the grid that was built for half the population we have now!
@@LeahS-e5io
Good news. Governor Abbott, driving the lead truck himself, is assembling a five mile-long convoy of power repair trucks that were alerted last week to be sent to Houston but never sent. Based on estimates from his success in the Big Freeze, arrival time will be sometime in September...
😂😂😂😂
Abbott needs to go it's time for a fresh new start
Yes.
Exactly
This is all Biden's fault. Why don't you blame the Democrats.
NE Houston resident here, it was just a Cat 1 hurricane but we got hit dead center so it is now the second day without power and the real feel temperature is above 105 so yeah we're hurting.
We had to aid an elderly couple of neighbors last night with extra batteries, lanterns and food because they were in panic mode until an ambulance finally came and picked them up at 3am because the poor people couldn't handle the heat and the darkness any longer.
SE houston same here
N.E Houston here too. We had tornadic activity at about 4:45 am here near i-59.
I feel badly. However, it's your state's own fault for electing governor Abbott and Senator Cruz, and not being part of the nation's electrical grid because "guv'mant bad." Hopefully you can elect some decent human beings into office. People who care about the welfare and well-being of their fellow citizens.
@@CadillacRiver ohh, don't bring your political junk into this. You're one of those ," never let a crisis go to waste" type. It was a storm that took an unpredictable turn at the last minute.
@@WiIdbiII a political storm of sincere ignorance and conscientious stupidity.
Praying for Texas from nyc hope you guys are safe
You should send the migrants back to Texas as compensation
oh please...prayers DONT fn work!!! They need to DO THE WORK! But of course our gov and senator DGAF!!!
@@LeahS-e5i as another New Yorker I was actually planning on moving to Texas when I finally negotiated full work remote but seeing TX get completely destroyed by any degree of inclement weather...
Seems like both states are kind of messed up.
Thank you for the compliment. It means a lot to all of us Texans, including Houstonians!
And thats only a category 1 hurricane. We are lucky it missed corpus Christi. A lot of people here said a category 1 was no big deal. It looks like a vey big dangerous deal. Prayers for all who are dealing with the aftermath today.
People who’ve been through hurricanes for many years often say that. This is nothing to them since they went through Harvey and Rita.
@@whyme3772 it's nothing, tell that to all the people without power roasting in their houses because of the antiquated 19th century Texas power grid
@@whyme3772harvey fucking SUCKED
This category one hurricane packed a hell of a punch. A lot of people got caught by surprise
Prayers for everyone 🙏🏻
Who is governing Texas, this is every year without the power
Hot Wheels Abbott a total 🤡
That's what happens when you have a 19th-century power grid, that was installed by Edison.
ABBUTT....a total LOSER. Yet Texans are so ignorant they keep voting him in!
@@mocheeks709my guy you just said 19th century, this has nothing to do with Edison. It’s the shitty republicans in that state worried about getting a bigger house then upgrading infrastructure.
Rip to all the victims and my condolences to the families of the victims.
Blood in Biden and Hillary's hand.
After Hurricane Laura and a week or so later Delta hit La./Texas in 2020 we were without power for four to five weeks. Fortunately, we had and bought window a/c units as the heat was pretty bad. Gas for our power plant was several miles away, but we made it.
POWER LINES DOWN. GRID OFF LINE FOR A MINIMUM OF APPROXIMATELY 3 WEEKS. TURN POWER ON ELECTRICITY IN THE WATER
Praying for Texas and for rapid recovery
How long will Texas deny global warming?
This is all Biden's fault.
Next year😂
@@Michaelcj-m2d Biden's fault. You probably voted for him, sick liberal.
Bruh, when does Texas secede already? Let them pick themselves up by their bootstraps!
🇺🇸Thank God I bought that Trump MAGA Bible and stocked up on lot's of MAGA Kool-aid,
my family will be saved

This is when Texans LOVE socialism
Still wouldn't like it...this is when texans get up...clean up and move on.
@@jimmynguyen5404and ask for federal assistance, which is socialism
@@jimmynguyen5404they’re willing to take dollars from blue states for the clean up.
@@FstateThats not socialism, Texas is a federal state that requires federal funding when private companies don’t want to help. Texas pays its taxes through municipal bonds which in turn receives funding. If we called every government handout socialism, we’d be fundamentally socialist.
@dog_biter no that's not socialism. How are you man? I'm in my mid 40s....I know what that really is. Not just watching and researching it.
Seriously, Govenor Abbott and Senator Cruz can't blame this on the bipartisan immigration reform legislation they recently refused to enact.
I live in Northern CA, sometimes I forget there's bad weather in the summer. Good luck to those affected.
Praying for you all!
Why?
God bless these folks.....you are in my thoughts and prayers ❤
I LOVE HOUSTON TX!!!💜💜💜 ALWAYS WANTED TO THERE!!!
Arkansas got slammed too
Arkansas, needs help too, if you can,, go there and see what you can do to help, Pray for them and the people of Texas. There are so many people who could just use a hand up right now, just a little help to make their lives a little easier, and give them hope that someone cares. They're not alone in this. 😊❤️
How many people are going down to Texas to help our fellow Americans? Texans need us right now, a lot of them would come and help you if you needed it, do what you can to help
That’s horrible, I live in Florida and I really hope we don’t get one this year.
You'll get more then one. You live in Florida.
Oh you will, it's almost a gurantee.
🙏🙏 praying for Houston
Actions not words. Especially internet words.
Obama caused this!!!
Prayers DONT work. Wake up!!
@@LeahS-e5i Yes they do. But this country is not Christian enough. Vote Republican again to win favor with the heavens!

Flat land floods 😂
Be careful together 🙏
Texass has third world power grid.
Useless Government
😮😮
Meanwhile the Dallas Cowboys are enjoying perfect weather here in Ventura County, California.
There’s a reason their training center has been here for over 20 years👍😎
Visiting my brother in Richmond, TX. The entire neighborhood lost power, over 200+ homes and we’re the only one with a generator🤔 I’m not from here, but it’s surprising that people living in the path of hurricanes don’t prepare accordingly
People don't have money
@@MISSAPRILx3 people that have 4 cars in the driveway, DO have money. They just haven’t allocated it correctly. If you drive a Tesla, but don’t have a generator, that’s just dumb. There are houses like that in this neighborhood.
Ye blame poor people not the shtty infrastructure 😂
@@NoClue-rat a hurricane is a natural disaster that happens regularly. If you CAN be prepared, why wouldn’t you? There are tons of people who can’t, and obviously I’m not blaming them. And yes The power grid is super shitty. I think we all know that
@@againstthegraingolf301 hurricanes happen regularly? What planet are you from?
Its the American Way, help your fellow Americans 🇺🇸
Where are Lyin Cruz and Abbutt?? Oh ya, on VACATION!!!
Texas gets hit with a cat 1, millions without power. California gets hit with cat 4 a couple houses go down. Texas is really bigger at everything. In this situation being the biggest embarrassment
Should TX go it alone for repairs/rebuilding the way it wanted Balitimore to do when the port was damaged? Or, should we, as Americans, all pitch in to get what needs to be done done?
This is what happens when you have a fascist Governor in Texas. Capitalist mayhem
What state u from
And hopefully every voter in Houston will remember how the Republican led State has completely failed them.
@@bevonostro................ABSOLUTELY not!! Texas is one of the best states and actually affordable cause it's Ran by Republican's whom by default side with employers, law enforcement and minimal regulation so that the businesses in the state can actually thrive
@@Repub_Rico_GOP Texas is ranked #29 in cost of living, not very good.
@@DementiaDon Austin alone by far is the most expensive. Houston ,Dallas and San Antonio have booming job markets/w lower costs of living then most Metro areas in the USA. Numbers don't lie either and the numbers are saying that all u D's are abandoning Cali, NYC and Illinois in the tens of thousands yearly to move to Texas or Florida and I wonder why ?? Cali and NY have lost house seats due to depopulation while TX and FL gained seats . Who wants to do business in Blue state where Criminals are allowed to terrorize the public with high frequency , high taxes, crazy environment regulation that limits commerce and where you and your employees are not safe !! Sorry not even demented democrats want to live in cities where their policies have failed.
This is horrible and was largely unexpected!
Category 1 - there’s no reason for this BS. They should have been prepared!!!!!!
Prepare for these nuts daddy
Okay I want to remind you that you can take the car batteries and run the air conditioners from the car battery by attaching the surge protector to the car battery
Never heard that before, I doubt that works
Prayers for Houston 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Who do you think sent the storm
Lol you needed to pray a long time ago. 🤣😂
@@richardmesser1091 Like they always do, blame the other guy Devil or Biden 🙄
@@peter320vn so,ignorant it’s astounding! U think the FELON should have used his SHARPIE marker to redraw the path maybe???? DF!!
Folks be patient most of outages are breakers on the poles. If there are no down trees or poles power should be restored pretty quickly. The assessment is to figure out down lines and areas with flipped breakers. There are breakers on electric lines but u can't just flip them on with areas with down lines. Hopefully everyone get power back on in next couple of days.
Who drives thru 4ft of water?
And that will help with the heat the heat crisis that is coming across Houston since they have about 3 million power outages there
But it hot in the summer…just like before no problem……Right?!
But don't worry. Cruz and Abbott left quickly and are safe.
When will people listen about driving in high waters ? They do it everytime then need help. That is so stupid.
Jamacia is so quiet
Will anyone move? "No we ain't leaving our homes"
God bless 🌈❤🙏
Don't know about slams, roars, and the like, but it did more on shore.
I love an hate Texas 🤦🏻♀️no power here sucks but we are Texans we can survive anything
Is this September ? Or end of August ? A week ago was Independence Day , what a F. ?
Climate .
I pray for Texan people .
Why was she outside?
Why is it always the girls fault 😂
Darwin
Don't our public officials do a really good job!
Say bye bye to your homeowners insurance.
Climate change!!!!!!😢
Texas: there's no climate change
WOE
Where is Greg Abbot??
Kissing the _____ of Trump 😂😂
You mean where’s Waldo.
Father help them
You think cruz is enjoying a margarita, or Pina colada right about now? Don't worry, he'll be back soon for pictures.
Does Texas ever have power??..
And word of advice to the news if you see me on the coast and I suddenly leave town then you know why I cannot explain it it's just something that pushes me in my mind making me think that I'm hunting this or hunting that and it turns out to be that I'm saving myself from a hurricane a tornado activity and or radiation storms
So are you Houston is out there keep in mind that I'm in Ashdown Arkansas I left Houston just in time did I not
Praying for everyone.
Power companies should have been more prepared. This isn't anything new yet outages are still just as bad as ever. With the heat and humidity, they're gonna have the blood of heat sensitive people like the elderly on their hands.
CEOs need to get paid and stock buybacks is the norm for capitalist paradise.
Is the president doing anything for this emergency
We need buried powered lines to prevent electrical outages. Let's just pretend that we're burying them under the Atlantic ocean you heard it here first folks.
The cost of install and maintenance has long determined it’s not cost effective.
Try again.
Obviously don't understand that you can bury power substations 🤣😂
It cost 7-10X times of pole powered lines. We all know that republican states think about socialist infrastructure funding. 🤫
@@guybeingaguyThat's what happens when you have a private company doing these things. The US interstate system would have never been built if private industry was the one who had to come up with it.
@@PURENT Sir. That has ZERO to do with it!
You want your entire street tore up for weeks to fix a buried line? Private or not it doesn’t matter. Bulldozers, diggers, concrete, asphalt all take time and money. Bucket trucks are already purchased and can access the problem in minutes- Understand?
What if a buried water line breaks and electric lines are next to it? Yeah, water, electricity and the general public is not a good mix, not to mention the lawsuits from electrocuted customers.
Next we have a underground short circuit and everything’s flooded. You ever experienced 120volt (or 220) standing in a puddle of water?
You understand now why burying cables is simply not the way to go.
Private or government it does not matter, you are WAY off base in you knowledge and experience here.
Houston is swamp land. @EdDemnity
Maybe they should upgrade their 19th century power grid.
Why it’s no big deal, hurricanes happen all the time, Right?
@@mocheeks709 lol, commiefornia is doing worse than Texas 😂😂😂 they can’t even power the charging banks for EV’s
😢
Trying to be happy for them, since this what they have been voting for, for decades.
Minute .026 onwards: "It will take days".....Read "weeks" (and in some cases, months), in polititians' language! 😅
Trump where are you we need you to throw paper towels 😂😂
😢😢😢,😢😢😢
If a f1 did that my God I can't imagine what a f4 is
you're confusing tornadoes with hurricanes.
hurricanes are categories not enhanced
@@powerflashes r ur eyes open
@@travistaltoan3185 They are not.
Gotta weed out the unwanted population somehow, crews 'racing' at the pace of snails 😂 what a joke
You would think the instead of standing in front of a tree that didn't actually fall on something. The news would show a selection of homes damaged by trees which they show only one tree. All damage show was simply wind damage and not trees. Lol
Maybe trump will show up with paper towels.
🙏
Sweet lady....
Don't worry, I'm sure Ted Cruz is safe and sound in Cancun.

Move DO NOT REBUILD IDC if a elephants heavy. We need to start building away from the coastline. And underground.
HOUSTON is not on the Coast though. It is 50 Miles inland from the Gulf of Mexico.
Whitemire do your job, bring the power now.
☝️🙏
Trump 2024
This mayor of Houston sucks as mayor.
At least he doesn't run to Cancun. 🤣
As a capitalist I take no responsibility
Its not climate change get over it..your local MAGA 😂
Not enough guns in the state to keep Beryl away?🤪
Repent and God will heal our lands.
Where’s Biden?
Not hiding due to raped allegation of a 13years old. 🤣
Where is Greg Abbot??
@@peter320vn where’s Biden sleep at the B wheel???
Where’s Joe Biden at?
Not doing stuff states are responsible for.
It was a cat 1, just up from a nasty rain storm.
Texas has failed over and over.
Blame and wonder about who’s actually responsible.
I know - Lock them up right?
Lock up Biden!
You are a red state remember? Your governor doesn't care about Biden 🤣😂
You mean Abbot? That clown is not even in the country
_So We sent upon them a wind furious in (the) days (of) misfortune, that We may make them taste (the) punishment (of) disgrace in the life (of) the world. And surely, (the) punishment (of) the Hereafter (is) more disgracing, and they not will be helped. [Quran 41:16]_
N Ht'r Joe won't be visiting. Trump will be there to help though. Any bets???
Oh really from a convicted felon like Trump will visit the state even though Governor Greg Abbott this is his own damn fault he was out there around the world when his state is getting flooded. How’s that going? How’s that maga💩
I was hoping Biden would act like Trump for once and threaten not to give aid because they voted against him
Dumb, you think trump can fix your sad life
TRUMP Will show up anywhere he has a Photo OP and can hawk his Golden Sneakers and Bibles. Meanwhile BIDEN will show up with a Big CHECK !!!
🤣😂🤣😂
God bless 🌈❤🙏
