As work continues to restore power to the Houston area, some residents have been without electricity for nearly a week since Hurricane Beryl. T.J. Parker reports live with the latest updates and restoration efforts.

460,000 ACCOUNTS... not customers... some homes have 3 to 5 people living in them. The number is easily over 1 million.

@DataJuggler Ай бұрын

Many houses have more dogs than people too. I have power and my neighbors across the street don't. All it takes is a truck, and 500 people in an apartment complex I used to live and across the street from me would get power.

Not people-customers. Our condo complex has about 300 people but we are one customer.

Day 7 reported down broken power line by my house 7 days ago! Called the cops and fire dept cause the tree was on fire ! They came and left and did nothing ! Since then I have called everyday and was able to report this to 3 people ! I have yet to see a truck come ! But yet everyday I see power trucks just driving by and the line is down as clear as day ! So what’s going on here ?

You can`t connect the thigh bone to the hip bone until you connect the neck bone to backbone. That`s basically how it works. I truly feel sorry for y`all.

@dude8273 Ай бұрын

if a 3rd party tree service doesn't get there in time to clear it up, line workers wait a bit and then move on to next area, so sadly your area might be pushed back to a bottom of the list. someone commented this after an argument broke out at a gas station parking lot because line workers were leaving without fixing anything and that was their explanation.

@dano0726 Ай бұрын

All of these local newscasters misrepresent the number of ACTUAL PEOPLE are without power -- the reported figures are for "customers" which conservatively translates at a much higher number -- 500K customers without power is really 500K times 2.75 people per electrical connection so still over 1MM without power...
