Kingwood neighborhood residents concerned for one another after going nine days with no power

Why yall cut her off when she was about to start spitting facts

[@EdwardM919]

They know what their doing, keep quiet, and pay your taxes and electricity. Don't look behind the curtain and ask questions.

[@jackieoesterman6688]

There is no reason for this! Unbelievable.

[@watermelonsprite1497]

even when the power turn back on yall shouldnt let this slide.

[@armandoledesma3699]

@@jackieoesterman6688 you're correct.. you can definitely tell that people that live in a neighborhood like this can afford at minimum a generator to at least power up fridges and a a/c window unit.. "by failing to prepare, you're preparing to fail" 🤷

😢😢😢😢😢 I know how that feels, I had 7 days with no power, I pray they will have their electricity back soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Facts. Went 6 days with no power. And it was intense. Luckily my job let us stay there. But it was still rough not being home.

This is due to lack of tree trimming by CenterPoint for years. Consult an Attorney...God Bless...

[@southtxblues]

I understand their frustrations. After a hurricane where I live, our whole neighborhood didn't have power for 16 days....in early August.

[@d.d.t.7239]

They cut her after, it's just a CAT1 storm Why??

[@celestecelestial90]

I wasn’t born yet, but my dad said he was out of power for 2 weeks after Hurricane Alice.

[@dhavalpanchal4856]

I think people are starting to realise that they cannot rely on utilities for all the power needs. Natural Gas, water, electricity.

[@MakingItHappenMWC]

All that power map is was some dude or woman took the map, opened up paint, then got to scribbling.

[@reliefmango6]

More would've had no power had the storm been stronger. For a lengthier time?

[@broncobill3902]

This wasn’t even a big storm. WTF!? Centerpoint

Get a generator and a window a/c unit....At least you can cool one room to sleep at nite

[@debbiejohnson7758]

Doesn't mean they can find these items. Maybe they can prepare for the next time.

[@michie-wt9lz]

Hopefully they can afford to

[@Hornsfan64]

Kingwood will always be Houston’s red headed stepchild. We didn’t vote for 95% of the local elected officials, so they don’t really give AS about Kingwood. Just keep paying the taxes!!

[@johnknouse8846]

10th day here in Kingwood without power. Finally seeing Centerpoint trucks though, so we’re moving in the right direction hopefully.

❤My Heart goes out 2 you guy's

[@blakecorkill]

I wish they would've interviewed Royal Brook and parts of Northpark that aren't "supposed" to have power until the 19th according to the map. I imagine if the map shows the neighborhood in the video has power it will be almost July 30 when Royal Brook and the surrounding Northpark area gets power

[@franciscoobregon1644]

You are correct. I bought my portable backup generator three years ago for under 1K and it has assisted our home at least three times. Sometimes we spend more than that in things that are not even necessary.
