Woman says she has had a downed power line in her yard for the last year

[@cheryldurham3560]

This is disgusting leaving an elderly lady with no power all this time on top of her son dying. Somebody in her state capital needs to hear this story.

[@shannonjackson8286]

It doesn't just happen in Houston, Entergy does this in Louisiana as well. You can call them until you are blue in the face. We have a pole that's about to fall either on the house or in the yard. The bad thing is it has a transformer on it. I have been calling, and the other neighbors have as well, but do you think they have done something. NO!!

[@MozzieDesoto-ss7lq]

@@jammiedevaney I’m 26 y/o, lived here since birth, and I’ve seen it snow 4 or 5 times here in Houston!!! One of the times it was like heavy sleet but the other times were pretty crazy for down here! About 2-3 inches of snow! ❄️ 🥰 We’re having a warm winter this year!!!! Today it was a good constant 70 degrees with a cool breeze haha

@MozzieDesoto-ss7lq i haven't been in Houston since I was 12 yrs old and im 46 so.....

@@jammiedevaney well you’ll have to come visit again sometime! 🥰 unless you have no reason to….then I understand. A lot of people move out of Houston because they never wanna come back. That’s definitely not me…. But I could see how Houston can feel…idk…..over crowded? And there’s Not much to do here besides get into trouble hahaha

[@cheeseball5573]

Shame on them. How is this even legal??

It's not legal. You can thank our corrupt liberal government for allowing it though 🤷🏽‍♀️ But thank God a true Republican will be in the White House soon 🎉

[@ashleyearls5648]

​@@BryanJohnson-qb1se your funny. Majority of Texas isn't on the national power grid. So they operate under their own laws/rules and regulations regarding power resources. It's not a Republican/ Democrat thing.

Disgusting!! And God forbid if she was ever late on her bill they would cut it off immediately but can’t fix a problem that she didn’t even cause, pathetic.

Ridiculous

[@jorgemarin7303]

Have we as a nation have become so cruel that we can’t even help the weak and the broken by these evil utility corporations

[@ashleyearls5648]

It's not a national issue. This is in Texas, Texas isn't on the national power grid by choice so they operate with their own laws rules and regulations when it comes to power. It's not a national problem it's a Texas problem and the voting of the Texas residents because they vote in the people and the policies that they operate under.

[@threisaclinkscales6953]

Big corporations like this one know that they can and will do this to all of us. During the last hurricane we had in my city we couldn't get power connected for a week but there were warned by our mayor the hurricane before to cut/trim the trees around the lines. Nope didn't do it so. 27 trucks were parked in a parking lot just sitting there for hours. They said "Well we took lunch". Ok take shifts eating and working then. A week 😢 Over a barrel

[@ricardoramirez23]

Sounds about right

[@francinepadilla8197]

She need's to hire a lawyer, and let the mayor know what is going on, the BBB, and the attorney general, and all of the newscast's in her city, I wish her only but the best, good luck and God bless her, and I hope that she can get her power back on, shame on everyone who is involved!!!

Snow in Houston. Wowsy 😂😅I like that come back. Center point needs a butt whopping. I had stock in center point. I sold the stock and made a 1000 dollars plus all the years I got dividends. So for those that are suffering because of stupidity. I got something from them. I now have a better electric stock with more as well.

Xcel is planning on cutting our power duri8ng wind storms. I called them and informed them that they had cut off my Oxygen machine that my life depended on. Xcel said it was my problems and not theirs. This spring we had a 10 wind storm and it took Xcel 3 days to restore power because they had to hand inspect every inch of the transmission lines for damage. I had 3.5 days with no oxygen.
