FOCUS ON HOMES INSTEAD OF BUSINESS

@UnkyJofus i was hoping the path of it would've made it miss wharton, tx, with y'all having many stores & the buc-ee's. But alas, it was just too big of a storm 😢😢!

Na focus on business so everyone who has no power at home will goto work, thus economy doesn't suffer

@macmcleod1188 17 күн бұрын

People do need gas station and Propane stores open (to get fuel for generators). I went 7 days without power during the Derecho in May. And I went 3 weeks without power back during Ike. My sympathies to those without power. I got mine back about 5 hours ago and invited those without power to run extension cords and/or come over to cool down. I'm averaging one major (3+ days) power outage every 6 years since 2000. I think Centerpoint is not doing a good job of communicating power restoration schedules and priorities. They do have 12,000 repair people in town. The reason they couldn't start earlier in part was they first had to assess what was safe to turn back on. Rushing turning on power could cause fires, or shock people and workers fatally.

With a smile on her face. Centerpoint should be held accountable. And legal action should be taken.

Do you realize they have to stage outside of potential damage path, which requires them to stage and not respond until after the storm? If they staged in the storms path, then they may not be able to come help you at all

How long do you think it takes to stage and access? I was in the military and I know the drill! It doesn’t take that long. They know what they are doing.

Yeah… I haven’t seen a single truck actually doing work on the lines in Montgomery County. I’ve seen them driving around, sitting in parking lots, and sleeping in Hotels with 30 trucks in the parking lot. Not repairing the down line to my elderly parent’s home. Looking forward to the next 10 days.

They have a monopoly, so their lack of preparedness matters not. Crews should have been staged ready to get to work immediately. I live in Richmond, and at places like River point church and Home Depot in Rosenberg, 50+ trucks in each location just sitting. I asked one of the drivers what was going on, and he said they were waiting for instructions because they don’t know where to go. Most of them had been here since Monday afternoon when it was still raining.

December January last year, Center point energy again fell short and caused millions of people to become mad. In this storm, which we experienced in the summer and whose future was announced days ago, its inadequacy was proved once again. Is Houston doomed to this inadequate company? Won't there be a penalty and sanction for this? Most simply, who is responsible for the deterioration of our food in the refrigerator and freezer of me and millions like me, so that people cannot stay in their homes in this heat?

My son came from San Antonio. He works with the light company there. They’re staying on the outskirts of Houston to help. Some fools broke into their trucks. So 3 guys had to stay back to talk to police. It you see someone doing stop it. Those could have been out working to fix power.
