It is an embarrassment if Cat 1 storms cause a lot of damage aside from flooding. The power system cutting off millions is third world standard which I experienced in banana republic hurricane. I have been through many hurricanes and never had damage to my properties because of the construction and prep.
Even with mild temperatures 45° - 60° the powergrid fails. Power outages Texas. But it seems for majority of Texans & the crippled Governor infrastructure is not a priority
1:54 Doesn't she realize you are suppose to stay at least 30 feet away from Power Lines? That is a VERY Dangerous assumption to make that they are De-energized.
These people live on the edge so we don't have to .. Don't know why it's hard to understand . Reporter's always in life or death situations. While we at home watching, yelling out safety tips to the TV.. Standing next to cables today. in Pakistan reporting tomorrow being held hostage.. Nothing new. Yall stress too much .
@@candicewitzkoske3155it’s not understandable… the amount of money they try and charge US for the repairs that’s on THEM.. they’ve had over 50 years to update the grid but procrastinate in doing so because this state can’t do anything that cost themselves money … they love to just raise taxes and prices but yet everything is built and made so cheap…
Grid power is no longer reliable at all in this area... it's past time to start lining roofs with solar panels people! Every single home needs to be as near to 100% independent from outside utilities as possible, because we cannot depend on those outside utilities to work anymore. Just saying. If you had a roof covered in solar today and an inverter heat pump to cool your house, you would have an air conditioned house today instead you are beginning to swelter in the intense summer sun instead! The way we been building out homes and powering them, just doesn't work well anymore. 😞
These people should quit their job. We were on vacation in Galveston and Houston leading up to Sunday right before the storm. They did a terrible job keeping the community advised of the catastrophe they were facing. Now look at them here to point at all the suffering and damage. How they sleep at night is beyond me.
Sorry the human race hasn’t figured out how to control or predict weather. I think only God is capable of that so far. Maybe just be better prepared next time and be a better human on principle instead of being weak and pointing fingers.
It's on you. You're in a coastal area during hurricane season and not checking weather. They'd been talking about this for at least ten days before Sunday.

Normal category 1?
What is supposed to happen if it is category 5?

Center point says stay 10 feet away from downed power line

How about we spend time fixing the power.
Can't believe that the grid is so frail after only a Cat 1 storm. Imagine if it was a Cat 5 storm.
Why?! It’s completely understandable.
After the freeze we had a few years ago, its been the norm

@xxZerosumxx you didn't have any rolling blackouts in summer 2023
This is all a part of living in Houston, no point being tired
alot of the tree issues are on the home owners.. those neighborhoods should have trimmed back those trees or replanted new ones ages ago..

Too many HOAs still banning solar.
Too late. Times up you are either in the ark or you aren’t.
Just get a stand by generator. Its way cheaper than solar. Solar is useless unless you have batteries. So many people don't know this.
Hey hey the smartest comment of the day.
Most insurance companies won’t insure your house if you have solar panels on the roof.
Wasn't the first time NRG got their roof taken off last time that happened was 2008
Street sweepers are needed on a regular monthly basis cause I have had to buy 2 tires for nails
Excellent drone footage.
Thats why i moved up northern texas
She seems surprised there were sests in a staduim.
The beginning of sorrows
Category 1. WOW!
Is expensive living in Texas especially with more extreme weather events & poor build infrastructure.
That store always floods.
They have great American credit and interest free . They will be fine .
Prayers
Is Houston sinking like New Orleans?
we are trying to reduce subsidence by using more surface water
Houston has a target on its back!!

Why would you take a vacation in Galveston when a Hurricane was predicted?!

U didn’t vote to get Abbott out of office talking about Beto is going to take your guns…Well at least u get to have your guns
Ignorant comment
So if Beto was in office the hurricane wouldn't of caused any damage? LOL
@@xxZerosumxx you can’t fix stupid people. Can you imagine Texas if beto would have won?!
@candicewitzkoske3155 I can. It be in an even worse condition, with higher taxes, and him trying to take people's guns.
Newson got all the money taxes could get and a liberal leaning central government. How is that working out for the average person in Cali rn?
Evidently this television station doesn't have a clothing allowance for their on air talent.
Houston is 👎🏾
These so called journalist love this kind of drama. Never waste a good human suffering/disaster cause their are ratings to get and doritos to sale!
They look for the worst case scenario and make it seem that's how all of Houston is.
They are always so theatrical! It must be a requirement for the job.
