The focus should be power restoration...that will save lives

[@Dynoids]

Agreed, they also mentioned that multiple times that it is a priority

[@toujouramour2008]

People need to understand that the power crews cannot begin to restore any power until the winds die down

[@kss-l6t]

Massive upgrades should have been done after Harvey. 😡

My sister was visiting her in-laws in Houston last hurricane. They had to evacuate walking through foot-deep water. It boggles the mind as why they never learned the lessons from that storm. Who the hell drives outside during a storm? Why didn’t people prepare/stock up for the storm? Why didn’t people trim their trees? Sheesh. I live in a place that’s under constant threat of typhoons…most problems can be prevented with forethought, planning, and preparation.

@@KneesDirtyForPolitrixxx I highly doubt that TX tax dollars go overseas - that would be the federal government sending dollars overseas. Your state and local governments are responsible for your state and local infrastructure.

@@nichmon3221 no WE are prepared for this weather it’s just 1 the forecast said by the time it comes to Houston it should wind down to a tropical storm so being hit with a category 1 hurricane was a little uncalled for Number 2 We are prepared it’s just the power company is not

Dont stay at home during a hurricane go out and flood your car like an idiot. That way the news stations will have something to film. I lived in the Houston area and it floods every time it rains. One of the reasons i left houston

[@baleksander000]

Good for you, glad that you came to your senses.

[@jcunningham2308]

Why havent y'all put your cars up in parking garages so they wouldnt get ruined. Yall just don't make sense to me

Am an oldie but have to say: we must go back to living as we did decades ago, if we are to survive in this crazy world we now live in. Learn to can and you’ll always have food in your pantry.

Smart lady. Prepare for two-three weeks without utilities and having to shelter-in-place.

How come the generators didn't kick in? Are they being maintained?

[@augustraspet9132]

And some of those first responders are probably making 16 dollars an hour

texas never fixes its infrastructure re the the power grid ! how many times will Texas go thru this ?

[@baleksander000]

Well it is a southern state, so that’s one reason.

This hurricane should've been called, RON.....

The only way to keep entitled people at home is to mandate that ALL BUSINESSES ARE CLOSED until the threat is over. Period. There is no other way.

[@rriddick8571]

Facts

[@rose2fame1]

I don’t think so

[@justdoingitjim7095]

I'm glad you're not in charge! No one would be able to get gas for their generators when they run out. It may take several days before waters recede from the flooded streets. Most people don't drive into flooded streets, so why punish them because of just a few idiots who think they're better than everyone else?

[@baleksander000]

@@rose2fame1and that’s why assholes are stuck in flooded streets. Life is on hold 12 hours before the storm hits. BEFORE. Nobody should be out of their homes twelve hours before a storm hits. Only essential/emergency services should be out. It’s not about your freedumb, missy, it’s about not being g so stupidly selfish that you’re beed sadly endangering other people. But you’re southern and white, I expect you to be a stupid ‘Murican.

Jeez, a person speaking like that in a position of authority. Get rid of the accent (yes an accent is not necessary) and speak intelligently. He looks unprepared and rattled. Get it together.
