Nice to see they're persevering as a community. I love how Americans, and all decent human beings, work together in times of crisis like this. Glad they've got their A/C and lights! From what I understand, Houston gets REALLY hot & muggy! "Where is this Planet Hooston?" -- General Zod, "Superman II"

Community is everything. These are lessons all high rise apartments should learn from and prepare for scenarios like this

I moved out of a 14 story senior high rise in Michigan. Senior's understand preparing and what happens in a power outage. I think the biggest issue is the heat. There's no cross ventilation in apartments and they can feel like living in an oven if you cannot, at minimum, run a fan.

I lived in Texas, & normal weather. Depending on the area of Texas, summers above 100 degrees & too hot to go swimming. Flooding & Flash Floods common, because of terrains. Houston is near the Gulf Coast & Galveston, TX.

Texas doesn't have a border. its The United States border in Texas number one and this year over 200,000 California residence have moved to Texas and its only May! For a Person from California who has the atrocious homeless crisis (Houston Is number one in homeless care for your information) while rich elites do nothing but live around it, its notorious for its prostitutions, daylight robberies and drug addictions are number one in the country, you as a Californian have zero credibility to judge my city in anyway.

I am a Houstonian and let me say this: This area which is the Northwest part of Houston and Southeast part are ALWAYS flooded or affected by a storm every time it rains and power outages come with storms. I have lived on the other side of the north and have never experienced a flood, tornado or deadly storm just to give you context. Its not cruelty happening its a choice of where residence prefer to live and the consequences.

That's not it at all because just as many people are leaving Texas because of their disastrous leadership as are moving there. Your issue is separatism and corporate greed. Texas is the only state not on the national grid and funds going to the private utilities are used to fill the CEO's pockets instead of maintaining and upgrading your out of date decaying utility infrastructure. All states have people moving in and out of them with periods of higher population and a lot of them suffer through the same types of natural disasters yet only Texas has these prolonged power issues year after year, even when no disaster has occurred.
