Houston Mayor John Whitmire, with city and state leaders, talks about recovery from Beryl

[@7ch1no38]

My problem is them raising these bills up to fix things and not fixing what they said they were going to fix..stop stealing our money stop raising these electric bills to fix the grid and not fixing it

[@dwjoseph59]

💯💯👍👍

The Bushwackers caused this mess when they DEREGULATED ELECTRICITY WITHOUT THE PUBLIC PERMISSION OR VOTE.

[@United2K]

This will either run people away from Texas…..or they’ll get tired and demand change.

[@matswilloch474]

I live in Houston now, but I am originally from Norway. in Norway they would cut all trees and vegetation close to power lines continuously to avoid these outcomes after storms. I have noticed that this is not done here and a lot of what is happening here in Houston is because of bad infrastructure and bad contractors who do not build stuff to last.

[@ClancyWoodard-yw6tg]

I wish they would do that because this happens every single time we have a bad storm like this where the tree limbs fall on the lines and causes massive outages

[@audryhatter9687]

I agree

[@alfredvela369]

Those “10 thousand workers” were never in the city of Houston. Center Point wasn’t prepared.

We go through this a few times every single year - bad weather, lose power for a few days at least, hot as hell. When will government fix this problem so its not happening numerous times every single year!!!!

To busy sending money to Ukraine 🇺🇦

[@DiLorenzo04]

Too busy leaving 7 billion in military equipment in Afghanistan 🇦🇫

Centerpoint has failed us for the last 10 years or longer. I question was Enron this corrupt ? Seems Centerpoint has stolen more money than anyone raising rates and charging recovery fees and haven’t fixed or improved anything same issues each year. Storm Outage wind outage, rain outage, cold outage, heat outage, hurricane outage

[@christof3613]

Centerpoint needs to be fired . This is ridiculous. Over 24 hours and no one has gotten power back . No one according to there website. What the hell are they doing

[@mike_w-tw6jd]

the consequences are that they will get more money again

[@Evelyn-zg9gp]

START PUTTING ALL THE ELECTRICAL UNDERGROUND INSTEAD OF ABOVE GROUND

[@MargDBX]

Then it will drown cluck.

[@gracielafelix5845]

The power has not back and they are thinking on recovery. We need really good leaders who work and do their jobs.

Surprise surprise

[@heyyeshyou]

This dude needs to be fired. Fake promises

[@Lily98760]

So you’re mad at him and not Centerpoint? Are you slow? It’s called don’t shoot the messenger! The blame is Centerpoint who you pay to give you electricity, you’re so smart you’d probably let them keep stealing your money and blame someone else for taking it 😂

Why isn't state officials and mayor helping ppl? They need any city building convention center open to the public for ppl to keep cool

The hospitals are full of people sick for the consequences of not having power and being roasted by the weather and thinking on recovery. Please start doing your job.

[@mshmshty80]

You guys good at speaking not at working you need to have a solution from the root. Long term plan to resolve the problem not short term plan.

No dumbass, the lights have been increasing for years and the grid has been a mess since before the second Bush was governor

Tell the business managers to open the churches for cooling and shelter. Read that many are locked up.

This is the kind of 💩 that happens when you DEREGULATED ELECTRICITY AND GOT RID OF HOUSTON LIGHTING AND POWER

Everytime you see this guy on the tv it’s bad news, chaos, or drama. He brings an ill wind with him. It’s like wherever he goes disasters and calamity will follow.

[@Lily98760]

You notice that because that’s all that’s happening. The others hide behind their lackeys. Where’s Abbott where’s Cruz? The people in the pocket of Centerpoint won’t ever hold them accountable

[@zaidagonzalez6460]

No power!!!!! Please check with center point so we can get power back soon. My father is 90 yrs old. He need power in his house 77547 Bla,bla,bla!!!!There is nothing we can doy with out power 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

It’s not his fault it’s centerpoint. You’re mad at the messenger

[@familyg7]

The reason TX is falling apart is because y’all keep voting Republican! Stop and let’s change this state to a better place. I was in Boston, MA, through 10 blizzards in 18 years and never lost power. Here, one little rain and everything falls apart. Give me a break.
