Clearly none of our county leaders were prepared for this storm to turn and directly hit Houston. Even though they were warned this could happen last week. Very disappointed and heartbroken for the loss of life.
Man. When will people learn. Don't even risk your life to go to work police, ambulance, firefighter. If it's not safe don't try. Never worth to lose your life and other people losing you for that.
They're needed even more in emergencies. To you it might not be worth it, but to them the possibility to save other people's lives might be. We thank that man for trying to get to his job as a first responder to help others before himself. RIP
The police are first responders and are needed in emergencies... He knew that and tried to come do his job. Instead of finding something to get furious about, getting mad at them for memorializing him, just give your condolences and move on.
I know one thing though my fellow texans & louisianians: next category 3 or category 5 hurricane we see; WE'RE GETTING THE HELL OUTTA DODGE!! Hurricane beryl was only cat 1 to 1 & 1/2 😳😳😲😲😢😢!!
This is complete incompetence from CenterPoint, there has to be some major change to this if not we’re doomed to get the same result if not even worse if a stronger hurricane hits us given we aren’t even at peak hurricane season yet
Heads should roll, somebody at the $20B company was worried about the bottom line when it came to moving crews down here JUST IN CASE.. now people will suffer in this heat until Thursday or Friday because of greed
This was a Cat.1 storm. Other than coastal locations facing storm surge the biggest potential problem is going to be rain related flooding. This part of SE TX is very flat and very flood prone. The massive influx of people into those flood sensitive areas only makes it worse.
Just taking it at face value, in today's world a "level 1" information officer is probably pretty important, (assuming lvl 1 is the highest). His work could have meant stopping big fraudulent charges or having the authority to pursue important things and make that day by day progress. Its sad he died and I would say that his job specifically should be possible to work from home on a day like today. That should be addressed and that change memorialized to him.
The crews were not here because CNP would have had to pay hundreds of thousands extra in hotels and wages. CNP is cheap and reactive not proactive. I worked in customer service for years and eventually quit. They are cheap. Their CEO makes millions a year and they worry about the wrong thing. We would tell customers bull restoration times because CNP was too cheap to upgrade their SAP application to real-time for their contact center. I quit after 10 years in management because I felt they were unethical in their treatment of customers.
Over 2 million homes lost power. You cant expect to get power back right away. I lost my power too and hated it but restoring power to over 2 million homes having to physically repair equipment takes some time.
I agree but there should've been standby techs. I drove a lot today and didn't see a single truck. I am patient and people should be realistic in their expectations on getting their power restored. However, the power companies should've known better. Shame on them.
🙏🙏🙏Praying for all my Houston Texas family and for the State of Texas , Please Lord God Almighty restore their power,Holy Spirit comfort everyone in need , Please Lord God in the name of Jesus Christ Amen!Thank you! Lord God Almighty 🙏Blessed is Your Name.
God's warning to mankind repent for sins against God, truly we are in end of days, God warned us , Yesua and Moses warned us take head against sodom gomorrah damnation false preachers and woke damnation or God's wrath will come and smite as a last warning before coming of Christ. Praying for all gods children in this storm.
Then when you try calling them it saids can no longer take calls. Center point. Should be looked into as about this

Man. When will people learn. Don't even risk your life to go to work police, ambulance, firefighter. If it's not safe don't try. Never worth to lose your life and other people losing you for that.
Let alone for people that don't care about you.
Your employer will post your job the day after you die. They don't gaf.
No we are necessary
They're needed even more in emergencies. To you it might not be worth it, but to them the possibility to save other people's lives might be. We thank that man for trying to get to his job as a first responder to help others before himself. RIP
RIP to all those lost in this storm.

ASKED HIM to come to work and he died. Your condolences mean little smh.
The police are first responders and are needed in emergencies... He knew that and tried to come do his job. Instead of finding something to get furious about, getting mad at them for memorializing him, just give your condolences and move on.
@@Tmb1112 Making a civilian, information security officer, not an essential service, come in to work during a hurricane is preposterous.

Please dont talk abt it. Alrdy nervous n hurricane season dnt end til november
@@charlesadams5445 yeah, beryl was one of the strongest cat 1's we've ever been thru.
we always forget and decide to ride out the next storm.
Good idea, and you should leave at least 3days ahead of landfall if you can.
So the crews are not there because they had no idea Beryl was coming, right?

Thank god it wasn't a category 3 to category 5!! This was only a category 1 to maybe category 1 &1/2. That part is TRULY FRIGHTENING!!
It’s better government control electricity instead of center point. Because private company are money making company they don’t care for public.
Well your governor has made God very upset
@@dwjoseph59yes thank God ! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

SECURITY IS ALWAYS MANDATORY IN FLORIDA DO NOT CARE ABOUT OUR LIVES
Ted Cruz please question Center Point Energy
Ted Cruz took a vacation in Europe
Our governor is out of the country!
Ted gave away his power and credibility. He’s just a podcaster now making congressional money. Welfare king.

I’m watching and crying 😢 … God help please!!!🙏🙏🙏
So very sorry. Blessings ❤

Secede and pay for your own acts of God
So sorry for your loss 😰😰😰😰😰I’m have no power 2day and can’t go to work but I’m better some sad
Prayers
Thank God
That really sucked
the hurricane needed to pee at buckes
A good reason for some power backup, maybe run a fan for a few days, a basic solar energy system helps also
Mayor didn't careless about the unhoused...
It's Texas. a bunch of idiot politicians. of course they didn't care about the unhoused. hell they barely care about the housed.
More than Half of them didn’t want shelter u can’t save those who don’t wanna be saved. We need better mental health care in this country
homeless*
Whitmire will not miss a camera opportunity
This saddens me, Jesus
SORRY FOR YOUR DEEP LOSE.TRUELY REST IN PEACE.
Sue center point energy.
Thats why there is a window breaker people by law carry in their cars and in womens purses to escape from car or through window in case of emergency
Poor infrastructure and haphazard emergency response makes for nice news casting. Let’s call it job creation.
Please everyone be careful
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
What’s your opinion on this?
Mia Mia Mia❤❤❤
Useless and incompetent police as usual. Can't even care for the lives of their own men.
Centralize power distribution with a 3rd party overseeing preparedness
The news preying on the bereaved for a story.
All of those customers are in upper class neighborhoods fyi
Centerpoints outage map never works. Garbage company full of incompetence.
Center point sucks
They're trying to raise rates again. In two different court cases. And provide garbage service.
This is sad my hands are tried. They are the only game in town have no choice
WTF are you saying?
TRIM YOUR TREES
No they where not
Just stup*d to drive in a hurricane if they really need u they got a helicopter
Lord, I hate big trees close to the house.
They add beauty and shade.
God's warning to mankind repent for sins against God, truly we are in end of days, God warned us , Yesua and Moses warned us take head against sodom gomorrah damnation false preachers and woke damnation or God's wrath will come and smite as a last warning before coming of Christ.
Praying for all gods children in this storm.
You can't have DEI and power. You gotta make up your minds. Choose
I hope you're trolling and you're not actually this dumb.
This is a manmade hurricaine!
I agree…They been trying to control the weather for decades
As usual here we go with the crazies and their tinfoil hats
Fax they don’t want these new people in Houston I’m thinking
@@markwilliams6378 do some research
“Putin should be held accountable for this hurricane” ahh comment
Why is Ted Cruz there? Did he have a layover in IAH on his way to the Bahamas or something?
Where is @greggabbott
