The Texan city of Houston is struggling through Hurricane Beryl’s chaotic aftermath, with power outages, blocked roads, internet disruptions and spotty access to gas expected to linger well after the storm’s floodwaters recede. The blackouts have also left residents to swelter through a heat wave. Beryl, now downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone, is carving a path to the northeast of the US.

  • @Tina-my4vm
    Centerpoint sent an automated message that said it would be 2 to 3 more days before all power is restored. My power has been out since 5am Monday.

    🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ Just like Cancun Cruz during the freeze, Absconded Abbott literally left Texas underwater to be at an "economic development" in Taiwan. And, Pathetic Patrick wasn't competent enough to have electrical crews from out of state available to aid Centerpoint in getting electrical services restored.
  • @RyanLopez-dp7vs

    First they vote to do away with regulations so these disasters could be averted and then they beg for federal aid. Well I’m sick of it. Please secede like you always threaten to. You’ll last about a minute without our tax dollars!
  • @michaelwilson8856
    Federal dollars available. Greggy boy has to pick up the phone and act like he cares.
  • @dalemills2918
    his is a company I would not recommend doing business with. You are better off to find a local dealer near you to take care of your problems. His insurance company will end up costing you double what a local. Contractor will. I bought. a new home. And had a. Warranty with these people? When I went to use it. And particulars about it. It was way cheaper to use a local contractor.
  • @danwacker4675
    No federal aid. Texas wants to stand on its own .so do it
