They say they’ve restored power, but all that means is they marked it on the map as “energized.” We’ve been “energized” for two days now, but still don’t have power. It’s just gaslighting at this point.
I been sleeping outside in my front yard with stray cats..I’m not even joking the homeless cats took me in. I just lay on a towel in the driveway. If anyone drives by I probably look insane. This is the craziest shit I’ve ever seen. I’m sure I’m not the only one sleeping outside while this is going on.
Had to do this with my dog during Harvey, I completely understand. I really don't have words because it's hot fkn miserable and it just flat out sucks. I'll sit here and be mad with you and the strays we'll just be pissed together.
@@mamaremy628 I’m the most mad at night when I’m trying to sleep lol. Yeah I’m with you on that, let’s be mad but keep our cool together. I hope you stay safe out here friend.
Found senior citizen w/o power since storm and offered her my gen and a/c today. Had never spoken to her before today but glad she let me know her situation
Centerpoint has done nothing to maintain the infrastructure in many years I hope people start calling CenterPoint when they see overgrown trees by the power lines
And this is after a category ONE huracane! I don’t want to imagine what may happen if there is a category 2 or 3! Honestly the lack of leadership and management in the city is outrageous
A lawsuit needs to happen because this is the craziest thing I have ever seen and experienced being here and we have been without power for 4 days feels like 4 years. And I'm from the Caribbean and we have a better planning system than this (depending on which island). This is wild and for them to say by Sunday they will have 80% of customers back online is even Wilder. The only way to get them to budge is if everyone sues them. One massive lawsuit by the 2 nearly 3 millions that have been without power, including the ones who have died by trees, heat and drowning. Seems to be the way of how America or Texas work, not forgetting guns seems to be a big talk here more than common sense.
@@UrbanOutlaw713 so trees that fell on the power lines and not planning ahead of time to deal with that clean up in a timely manner, causing more delays which hence causes death to the heat because repairs have not been done in a timely manner? It's pretty straightforward from there bruh. But hey to each their own
@@UrbanOutlaw713 how about the fact centerpoint had thousands of crew, many who came from out of state, sitting all Monday long waiting for work assignments… Literally didn’t get assigned until Tuesday most of them. Did you not see all them trucks sitting in a parking lot? It was on the news. There was a dozen by my office CHILLIN at fiesta all Monday waiting to be told where to go
@@UrbanOutlaw713Negligence? Slow recovery? Monday they reconnected a handful of people, their lil map was a lie lmao. Not to mention we still have ABOVE GROUND power lines in a rainy city like Houston smh. They won’t put them underground because god forbid they spend a dollar.
@@UrbanOutlaw713a lot of cities have underground powerlines yet we don’t? Not to mention the outdated wiring and equipment in lots of places. Them having a regional monopoly has really let them get away with way too much. Smh
It's demoralizing. It's now Saturday with no power, still no crews in this area. Seeing all the damage all the trees down and yet no work of any kind has started. None. I know for certain i won't have power restored by Sunday. I don't see power restored till possibly late and i mean late next week.
OMG! It’s ooooooo soooooooo hot. I have to take a cold shower before bed. Do you have any idea what us without AC have gone through these last nights?!?!
Just like every other hurricane it will take months or years for FEMA to distribute any money because of all the red tape and endless paper work citizens must fill out ❤😢❤😂
Come see Kingwood in NE Harris County! Almost every street you drive down has a tree through at least one house, some with many homes in this state on a short block. Theres still power lines fown everywhere, including in my backyard. Us residents have pulled together helping and taking care of one another, but theres been no outside help at all. Its now 6 days without power, no answer as to when it'll be restored, and few utility trucks have been seen in the last 2 days. Even if you can find a generator, you have to wait for the plugs to be delivered from amazon sometime next week. No disaster declaration, no fema, no red cross, no county workers, no acknowledgment from literally anywhere, nothing! But they continue to raise property taxes.
There was a disaster declaration. Hidalgoe said we were good. Check it out. Biden gave approval for assistance and then denied it the same day. Check it out.
I live in an area serviced by Entergy. They are doing a remarkable job bring power back on. Our area is heavily wooded and many trees were on knocked down destroying power lines. How they can organize all the bit and pieces needed to repair thousands of outages is beyond. Thanks for your hard work guys.
WE STILL DONT HAVE LIGHTS 7/12/2024 10:48 pm on the beltway 8 ITS GOING ON 6 DAYS WHOLE APARTMENT COMPLEXS WITHOUT POWER WTF IS THIS SHIT !?!?!! LAWD MY GOD WOW 6 DAYS MILDEST STORM ⛈️ IN 25 YEARS WHERE IS THE GOD DAMN LIGHTS MY GOD WTF
Apparently we haven't been taking care of the infrastructure and we don't have enough people or equipment to get the clean up and restoration done quickly. By taking care of the infrastructure, I mean with the bad spring storms we had, they may have used up all the extra grid parts they had in storage before hurricane season even got here, and with the economy bad, they didn't refill their stock of parts, maybe. I don't know that, but it's likely. We need more people in the workforce, but so many young people just don't want to get out there and work, they wanna stay home on their phones and game consoles all day. So we get what we got. Also could be that it's a very populated but sprawled out area, and there's just a huge amount of territory to cover in getting everything fixed. Please, don't be angry at the men who are working to get things restored. They're doing their best and they actually showed up to do the job. Be angry at guys in suits in air conditioned offices who didn't take care of things ahead of time, and guys who just want to sit at home and not work.
We don’t have power till now it’s day 5 but I feel bad for them coz other than they don’t have power they have a huge tree on the top of their roof . Them old people need help now first.
Good news is that these folks have a genrator. Been through 4 Hurricanes. This what I learned. CUT DOWN any pine trees next to your home. Buy a 4000 KW Gasoline Generator for about $350.00 at Harbor Freight. Buy two AC Window units at Lowes for about $600.00. Then, stop buying lottery tickets, cigarettes, beer and invest or save that money into a Generac natural Gas powered generator.
What how dare you not wait for someone else to take care of YOU. You should just complain to anyone that will listen on how bad things are. If you are an adult you have the ability to prepare for under 600 bucks you can have power and ac.
@@localtoys731I have a generator and I’m still gonna complain. Why? We pay the nations HIGHEST for service and these crews sat around all Monday long doing nothing! Are we supposed to pay for gas AND light bills? When it’s hard to even find gas and Lord knows they’d be quick to tack on late fees. Stop simping for center point
Why the piss are we paying a light bill for every god damn month for then I guess that’s just for shits and giggles you old folks take anything coming down the pipe laying down get bent
Yo nací en una ciudad de México donde siempre hay ciclones, les quiero compartir mi experiencia con los ciclones antes de que entren compramos comida enlatada, agua, leche en polvo, hielo, aseguramos las ventanas tapandolas con madera para que no entren objetos y rompan las ventanas a la hora del fuerte aire, cortamos ramas de los árboles para que no nos caigan encima. Llenar tú tanque de gasolina etc etc. ( Debo mencionar que también un rayo puede partir un pino en la tormenta aparte de los fuertes aires). Bueno ojalá todo esto que pasó nos sirva como experiencia de cómo debemos enfrentar un ciclón . Evitar o alejarse de lugares que se inundan, buscar refugio seguro.

I went a day without power here in south Houston near hobby airport. Prayers 🙏🙏🙏to everyone still without power…I hope it comes back on!! CAN WE TALK about the wifi and network service down as well… this whole situationis a mess!!!! Ridiculous
I remember Alicia when my children were young. We lived off Flintridge Dr in northeast Houston. Ten days, yes 10 days without power. Stop complaining. If you can't take it then move like we did. Hello from 300 miles due north. Better weather and better people.
I'm appalled how quiet our state and local officials are. . . After Uvalde I know I shouldn't be. But GDdamn we had at least one small town PREMATURELY call a "State of Emergency" the week prior to the eclipse. This is ridiculous! I've barely seen/heard our local channels mention it. We all know! Texans are everywhere when it was reported just 2 days ago over 2 million people were still without power. Our politicians tout precious oil now we can't ignore how fundamental alternative energy is. Which BTW didn't we just vote for there to be a separate position on the board to make sure everything is WEATHERIZED for our power grid to be functioning?? Is our Governor still overseas concerned about international trade agreements? (Despite his 'born in TX made in TX' jargon). How about our Senator off Cruising again while AGAIN in yet ANOTHER EXTREME weather disaster for Texans. I'm from Houston and our officials are no longer looking for our best interest as a state. They've gotten greedy and careless. Without power or water for 5 days with my internal home temp down to the low 40s. And our TC is caught fleeing leaving Texans living like refugees. 4 years later.... Where are they? I know fellow Houstonions will do what we and help each other out. Lots of big boys and tough gals that have big trucks and hella tree (removal)/ climbing equipment, oh and the construction vehicles galore. 🙏🏽✌🏽💖🇨🇱🇺🇲🤠 Please don't forget to vote. We may not like all our options but that's why we stay informed and involved. Gov. Abbott should have dealt with this already
Bless these peoples hearts.💔 This is so so wrong!! Center Point Electric Company should be Forced to buy each one of them a generator and gas!!! This is Not Right!!💔🙏🙏🙏
PLEASE CAN SOME COMPANIES PLEASE COME FORWARD TO BRING SOME HELP TO THESE FOLKS PLEASE HOUSTON WE NEED TO BAND TOGETHER NOW AND HELP THOSE THAT REALLY NEED IT NOW PLEASE
So who do I call about the children that went feral in my neighborhood as a result of the prolonged outage? One of the neighbors went missing last night, the rest of us fear that the children may have now acquired a taste for human flesh
That's why it's so important for everybody hit with these hurricanes to have a backup plan in place, This is for all states that are impacted by this. It's just a fact that everybody has to deal with. I'm from Virginia and all these states have to deal with the heat that comes afterwards. It sucks. When it happens to you it takes days for anybody to come out to help you. It's always important to have a backup plan
I don’t have light still and I’m tired of people going crazy with out light imagine In third world countries we Americans ain’t ready or prepared for the worst yes it’s hard but we need to be strong there is resolution for everything I have a 4 month and 4 year old daughter and we are getting by I tell them it’s like if we are camping there not complaining but grown as people are crying
That is a complete lie ! Biden never once called Abbott or Lt . Governor. You believe lying Biden. The same guy who did not show up to E . Palenstine a year plus later !
OMG my ❤ goes out to everyone they spoke to….so tragic, how do you fix these homes when you’re struggling in this economy anyways or on fixed income ? This is sooooo sad…
Cities that are in the line of continual tropical storms should bury (and waterproof) their power lines. It is only a given that power lines will get damaged storm after storm! My power was out for only a day (owl shorted the wires) and that was awful. I can't imagine not having power for a week. Also, if possible, in hot areas like this Underground homes would be ideal. The temperature ranges between 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Any hills or mountains in Houston (or the South as far as that matters) underground homes would be a great business to start!!
What's the matter ? Did the windmills and solar panels stop working ?? Who could have seen this coming !! A storm ! Who could have ever guessed this would happen.
Power immediately the wires need repair and get this done because the longer the power outage happens will be more cost added to what will be requested for damage in a lawsuit.
imagine people are living in the houses where brick is just an exterior. it is not structure. imagine houses in texas built the proper way where walls is the house structure and whenever trees are going down, - at least walls gonna stop it from going all the way down to the bedroom.
Tomorrow will be one week without power from a weak category 1 hurricane. Yes it did damage some areas and property but imagine how we would be if this were a category 4 hurricane. Centerpoint needs to be investigated
It's going to take until the end of July - at the earliest for power to be restored to those who haven't gotten it by July 19th (which is most of these areas in the north that bore the brunt of the hurricane's path with uprooted trees and fallen poles) - it is a major job.
What I see is mostly a tree problem. Get those trees away from your homes and power lines and I bet your chances of keeping power rises dramatically. Trees are not your friends.
I am seriously starting to feel like people and businesses are going to start moving out of this area due tot he weather and it will be like Detroit in 20 years.
Looks like Northwood manor. Half the subdivision has power and the other half doesn't. There is a Centerpoint employee that lives in the half that dies have power....go figure
You know? You pay HOA dues religiously so why doesn't HOA reach out to their communities and provide services needed to these people who are suffering??? Like cutting those trees away and providing a portable kitchen or something??? Everyone passes the buck!! That is the least they can do!!!!
The HOA is only good for sending letters about trashcans and giving community contracts to friends and family. They collect the dyes and couldn't care less about the residents, sadly.
COME ON MAN fema about time the TAX PAYER funded program should of been their DAY ONE but all anyone wants to complain about it the private power company, so my question to these people is WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD HAVE TO FIX YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY and for what FREE not in this day and age
Where’s your governor? Bet his somewhere cool and cosy, while his constituents are burning! Time to remove him and his party! Vote blue! May god bless you all! 💙💙
Of course the power is going to be out after a hurricane, for a few days in some areas. That's to be expected in a place where we have big trees. But I'm sure it's really hard on people in full summer heat. Y'all, please look after the elderly and anyone particularly sensitive to heat. I pray they get the mess of trees, poles, and downed wires cleaned up and y'all's power resorted really soon! It feels wonderful to be cool again, finally, after the power has been out for days. Makes you not take ac for granted anymore, at least for a while.
Qwhd reveales these news anchors are not so attractive. I used to think they was pretty with 13inch 240/360p. Then hd was upgraded for the public. They are horrific😊
They say they’ve restored power, but all that means is they marked it on the map as “energized.” We’ve been “energized” for two days now, but still don’t have power. It’s just gaslighting at this point.
@@bobbaganush1 yes that's correct they've shown Us in the green since after the storm and we don't have power
Yep and marked as energized means no estimate
This is so devastating💔. Old people are some of the most vulnerable in society. The city needs to help them!!
No. Families need to care for their elderly family members. Neighbors need to help.
Depending on the government will only bring you sorrow.

OMG my ❤ goes out to everyone they spoke to….so tragic, how do you fix these homes when you’re struggling in this economy anyways or on fixed income ? This is sooooo sad…
Seems the great people of Houston always get hit hard by these storms dear lord send them all relief now please!
Cities that are in the line of continual tropical storms should bury (and waterproof) their power lines. It is only a given that power lines will get damaged storm after storm! My power was out for only a day (owl shorted the wires) and that was awful. I can't imagine not having power for a week. Also, if possible, in hot areas like this Underground homes would be ideal. The temperature ranges between 50 to 60 degrees Fahrenheit. Any hills or mountains in Houston (or the South as far as that matters) underground homes would be a great business to start!!
Y’all should come to Northampton community in Spring. It’s so sad 😭
What's the matter ? Did the windmills and solar panels stop working ?? Who could have seen this coming !! A storm ! Who could have ever guessed this would happen.
Power immediately the wires need repair and get this done because the longer the power outage happens will be more cost added to what will be requested for damage in a lawsuit.
The comment section is sad😢
Praying for you guys
imagine people are living in the houses where brick is just an exterior. it is not structure. imagine houses in texas built the proper way where walls is the house structure and whenever trees are going down, - at least walls gonna stop it from going all the way down to the bedroom.
Tomorrow will be one week without power from a weak category 1 hurricane. Yes it did damage some areas and property but imagine how we would be if this were a category 4 hurricane. Centerpoint needs to be investigated
It's going to take until the end of July - at the earliest for power to be restored to those who haven't gotten it by July 19th (which is most of these areas in the north that bore the brunt of the hurricane's path with uprooted trees and fallen poles) - it is a major job.
As of 1 hour ago people are going 6 days without power
All the money that could help Americans is sent to countries all over the world.
Most people are not financially prepared for emergencies.
What I see is mostly a tree problem. Get those trees away from your homes and power lines and I bet your chances of keeping power rises dramatically. Trees are not your friends.
The trees weren’t the problem. Electrical grid is trash. Our power went out the storm before this one too. That one didn’t knock down trees
@@BigSheez Both can be true at the same time. They are not mutually exclusive.
@@rickss69 it’s also a problem of centerpoint had their crews sitting waiting on work assignments all Monday long smh. Almost no work was done
@@WakandaleezaRazzm
@@BigSheez you think we should be on a national grid?
any fact checking-- Rumor: no-pay disputes at CenterPoint are point of delay, no trust.
Every single person I know who applied has been denied by fema
I am seriously starting to feel like people and businesses are going to start moving out of this area due tot he weather and it will be like Detroit in 20 years.
I couldnt deal with this im so sorry yaw going threw this houston weather is to unpredictable and they never have a plan
Looks like Northwood manor. Half the subdivision has power and the other half doesn't. There is a Centerpoint employee that lives in the half that dies have power....go figure
ALL THE POOR PEOPLE HAVE NO POWER
100+ degree weather…. Broken power grid…. Texas is such nice place to live…. LOL
Wow. It's almost as if a hurricane tore through there or something.
It's, time to Repent.
FEMA has denied thousands already this week!
Really? 😔 😟
Why?
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
You know? You pay HOA dues religiously so why doesn't HOA reach out to their communities and provide services needed to these people who are suffering??? Like cutting those trees away and providing a portable kitchen or something??? Everyone passes the buck!! That is the least they can do!!!!
The HOA is only good for sending letters about trashcans and giving community contracts to friends and family. They collect the dyes and couldn't care less about the residents, sadly.
COME ON MAN fema about time the TAX PAYER funded program should of been their DAY ONE but all anyone wants to complain about it the private power company, so my question to these people is WHO DO YOU THINK SHOULD HAVE TO FIX YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY and for what FREE not in this day and age
That's Texas!
We need water and ice please
Where's their Governor?
It’s Criminal!!!
RIP
Where’s your governor? Bet his somewhere cool and cosy, while his constituents are burning! Time to remove him and his party! Vote blue! May god bless you all! 💙💙
😂dont forget to take in bidens migrants in your house, they need cars and cash dont forget that too
I have power because God loves me
That’s the stupidest thing I’ve read today 😊
😂
They're two elderly people suffering and their home is destroyed. You're not being edgy. You're just an asshole.
Mocking god ? One of your days is gonna be real bad.
Of course the power is going to be out after a hurricane, for a few days in some areas. That's to be expected in a place where we have big trees. But I'm sure it's really hard on people in full summer heat. Y'all, please look after the elderly and anyone particularly sensitive to heat.
I pray they get the mess of trees, poles, and downed wires cleaned up and y'all's power resorted really soon! It feels wonderful to be cool again, finally, after the power has been out for days. Makes you not take ac for granted anymore, at least for a while.
il trade him that Lincoln for a generator....
Bro I’m dead 😂
Qwhd reveales these news anchors are not so attractive. I used to think they was pretty with 13inch 240/360p. Then hd was upgraded for the public. They are horrific😊
irrelevant
🙏🙏🙏😰
Houston has become worse than a third world country 😢
still no power maybe tomorrow
This has all been done on purpose. FCP😶
Bunch of babies, try 2 months in Florida without power 🙄
We’re still waiting for FEMA checks from hurricane Harvey genius. This is a joke.
While your governor is in Asia vacationing like republicans Cruz to Concun Mexico! Try voting blue next time!
@@lovemypets254 not of fan of either. The Texas governor is a literal cripple like this state.
@@lovemypets254your white privilege is showing. you love bidens inflation too much
Thank god for renewable energy. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
