Houston, Texas, America… you need to check yourselves!!! As an Aussie seeing this behaviour unfold, I expected much better. Your linesman are skilled beyond and incur greater risks, than most other countries. In this circumstance fellow Americans have come to your aid and this how you treat your brothers!! Do better.
I'm a Native American. These people threatening linemen after a hurricane are part of our inbred new American hillbilly cult. Please pray for us in America, over the altar of common sense and rationality, because that got lost in the pond when their ancestors immigrated here.
Easy for you to say. You probably got power back on the first day or never lost it. Try living a week without power in your home and then come back and tell us how wonderful those lineman are.
@@strangeroamer3219they are wonderful, and I had my power out for a whole week during Fiona. It’s not the fault of the lineman, they do their best and many come from out of the area to service affected areas and help people out. I was glad I saw them and didn’t feel any sort of hate towards them, my hate was for the companies not the frontline worker. A lot of them worked in crappy weather alongside fire and EMS and spent a lot of time fixing up power lines and ensuring people got power back eventually. You need to realize that power doesn’t immediately return to everyone it can take time for a lot of reasons especially if it’s a grid, where they gotta get different parts back online. I’m glad the community kept them fed and watered as they worked.
@strangeroamer3219 If you think they suck, how about you go in and apply for the job yourself? I like the idea if you threaten a lineman you loose power for a few more weeks. That's excellent punishment on top of a fine. Threaten them with guns? The say goodbye to your 2A rights and you'll have plenty of power to use in prison.
But WHY are they threatening linemen? I know there can't be a worthy reason, but that part of the story is totally missing. I'm a wife of someone who does post-hurricane work, so I know how hard these guys work and what it's like for their families at home.
The out of state people…. Coming to help us the ceo was telling them to pay their own hotels … he stole 50 million plus from us. He was charging home owners with no lights that they’re using electricity.
Every time a major storm hits no matter where you go, the company you work for has to pay the hotel for them, not the local company that they are helping. Don't let people twist the story around so they can work you up just to hate the lineman who are helping all Houston.
Poor guys they are working long hours , many away from their families and instead of being treated like heroes they are insulted and harassed, we are living dangerous times
I beg to differ it seems to be the way you people are. I could understand if it was one isolated incident, but it seems to be happening over and over again what linemen will ever return to do work in your state unless they have a police escort every time this is ridiculous.
What idiot without power would threaten linemen trying to get the power back on? Every residence has a utility easement. You have to let them on your property.
Easy for you to say. You probably got power back on the first day or never lost it. Try living a week without power in your home and then come back and tell us how wonderful those lineman are.
@@strangeroamer3219 Really? People 150 years ago never had electricity and they survived. Sure its an inconvenience. Are you incapable of preparing for storms? Ever heard of solar? Get a couple panels, a controller and an inverter. Able to power a couple fans and lights.
Houston has had the worst storms. From Alice In the 80’s to Harvey they ought to know about how long it take to restore electricity. That’s what generators are for .
Yes, we went through Alicia in the eighties, and behind her tropical storm Barry was barreling in, my resturant soaked, no job, no paycheck, oh well, just another hurricane season in houston!
People you need to stop acting like you do not know who we are. We are better than this act like you got some cents. Don't forget these men and women have left their family to help us out!
Easy for you to say. You probably got power back on the first day or never lost it. Try living a week without power in your home and then come back and tell us how wonderful those lineman are.
@@strangeroamer3219 don’t take your anger out on the linemen, those guys are working hard. Point your anger at the management, they are the ones who fouled things up.
No, My family was without power for six days! We loss a lot and how I got my power is I call Centerpoint line that on my light bill for outages, and with in hour they were working on our lines!
If I ran those crews the 1st time my guys got threatened I'd tell them to pack up and go home. Those scumbags threatening the crews can just go on without power for the rest of the year and infinitely beyond and at that point all the I'm sorrys, apologies and bonus offers in the world would never ever get my crews back to finish the job. Absolutely not. They can just keep on going without power period.
People think that it's just their street that has damage, but it's city wide, or nearly city wide. Ever seen how an electrical grid is put together? One part might look fine, but the rest of it might be torn up all to hell. They might have to work up to your area, making sure the lines are clear, damaged trees are removed, and guys might be staged somewhere until they can get into the area that needs to be done first. It sucks, I know, but it's dangerous work. It's going to take as long as it takes.
how tf does this make sense they are trying to get you back power and here you are threatening them? like i honestly start to question how dumb people get sometimes its just so mind blowing, its hot we all want AC and here you are trying to stop that from happening? im so fucking confused the human race never ceases to amaze me.
News Flash everyone. As a lineman I can say it. With more violent storms due to global warming & more frequent storms in areas not otherwise hit. Everyone has to understand that there are only so many lineman in this country & we can’t be everywhere. So when it takes us 5 days to reach your territory don’t lash out at us. I’ll just ask to be reassigned to a neighborhood wanting their power back on. The other is if you can’t live without power for a week to ten days? Perhaps it is high time you buy a back up generator? I have one for my family. If you can’t afford that then buy a portable but have an electrician wire it for you. Last thing we need is someone back feeding the grid waiting to hurt someone.
Stupid is as stupid does im speaking of the residents not the linemen and repair crews who are trying to fix their stuff. My advice go where you are wanted and let those who do actions like this learn from their actions there are consequences.

The media is over sensationalizing that these line workers are being harassed. I was at an incident near Alief between some angry residents and some line workers. I am not making excuses. What. We did was wrong, but hear me out. There were about 3 Centerpoint trucks in a nearby parking lot doing nothing. A bunch of us were so happy we were about to get power and AC, and we were talking to the guys. Suddenly, the head guy gets a call and tells the other ps that they had to leave to area to service some other neighborhood. People were sooooo mad. Apparently, one of the crews didn’t show up to cut the trees or power poles necessary for the electrician line guys to repair and reconnect the power lines. People were begging for them to wait. Things escalated quickly to shouting and arguments. When they drive off some people were throwing water bottles at their trucks. I don’t condone that. It was a few bad actors. I just don’t think Centerpoint is organized. Do you have any idea what kind of hell we’ve been through in the past week??? We are just angry and frustrated. Nobody’s harassing anybody.
The place these linemen were diverted to had also experienced loss of power, and apparently the downed trees had been cleared and the new power poles delivered to that location. So these linemen could have continued sitting and waiting and doing nothing in your neighborhood, which wasn't getting anyone re-connected and has been a source of numerous complaints, or they could go to a place that was prepared for their work and help solve the problem. While it was certainly frustrating for you and your neighbors to see them leave, there is no question that it was the right course of action. If no one was harassing anyone, then what was it you all did that you're not making excuses for and that was wrong and that you don't condone?
See We Didn't or Shall I Say Couldn't Even Get An Update To When Power Will Be Restored Still Can't But We Sure Are Seeing and Receiving Plenty Updates on These So Called Hard Working Utility Workers Trying So Hard To Restore Power .. Well A lot Of Us, Hell Most Of Us Are Tired Of Waiting and If They Don't Get It Together The Workers and The Police Won't Be Reporting Anymore Threats.... This Whole Situation Is Ridiculous Smh Praying For Us All Especially The Elderly, Mentally Challenged and The Babies Laid
Threatening people that are trying to help you out isn't a smart idea.

Thank you lineman from Tx and other state that are help restore power. God bless
How’s about you automatically get an extra week without power + a charge on your bill if you’re threatening them
You threatened one of our employees, $75.00 fine added to your bill.

Who actually cares why. Fact is, they're doing it. So immediately stop working on the repairs permanently
Thanks for restoring my power at 2 am on Friday morning!
