It doesn, t work that way. My power came back on the day of the hurricane, and my brother-in law---went to work restoring power that day, did not have power in his own home for several days later. They are subject to being fired for prioritizing those they know or themselves.
My power hasn't been restored yet , the front apartment building I stay in has light, and our back section apartment building doesn't. Why ? If Centerpoint was there fixing the problem, why didn't they fix it all way???? No light since Monday morning. This is outrageous
Explain to me how a movie theater has power. A warehouse that is not even open right now has power? But the people where I live, especially some are senior citizens have no power, make it make sense
@BM-yk1dc the ones you speak of fall under the category of evil & wrong, yes? we'll all be judged, including them. everybody has the ability to repent and be forgiven, whether we like that idea or not. turn or burn, freedom of choice
After Katrina Houston power suppliers charge for up grades on lines to customers so this very thing could be prevented. What is happening to all that money they collected and still collect on every light bill? Why do we have millions of people out of power when those people have been paying to have poles replaced and updates to the power grid for years?
That woman is so editing her LinkedIn profile after this.... "Who should we have to face the angry horde - the President, the CEO, the shareholders?" "No, that girl Michelle in Comms - make her do it - she's comms after all!!!"
Lesson learned is having all stakeholders or their representatives involved in the preparation phase. The state watchdog shall review center point’s plans before hurricane landing, the same shall also apply to county and city officials. Just have to beef up the game
They can invent any number they want. How can it be verified? I haven’t seen a bucket truck in our area yet. Lady, no one is irritated with the line workers. The focus of the wrath is your lack of communication and honesty.
Heard that might happen to those got power back 1st. The excuse is to lessen the load when energizing the neighboring areas. Supposedly once the other area are back up the can bring power back safely for everyone.
Im a Truck driver in Houston, see alot of staged crews, but not working in neighborhoods. Trucks, from Ohio, South Carolina, but where are they working at...
If a Cat 1 Hurricane leaves Houston with the most outages ever reported how is CenterPoint or the grid in any way prepared for a say cat 3 or 4 storm? How many times does a company have to keep throwing a band aid on the problem and not identify possible long term solutions. I have heard that aggressive overhauls to make the Houston grid more resilient would cost the company too much in the order of Billions. So the long of it Centerpoint’s profits are more important than your health, comfort and safety.
That that is how you blow up more transformers and fuses when there is a short somewhere down the line. Sure, they can be faster but things are not as simple as you think.
They probably had to turn it off to safely repair something else also fed off the same line as you, or something else failed, storms often leave behind dangly limbs and what not, limb finally breaks, knocks everything out again. It happens. It’s certainly not what that first response to your comment says. That’s just delusional. Lol
Yeah, Michelle I think the problem is the 1 Million Plus People don't have Food and Water because the Grocery Stores ran out of Gas to run their Generators.
I’ve been thru 2 major outages in urban/statewide scope; once for 8 days and the other for 9 days. Much of the areas statewide were out of power for WEEKS. The rich and main thruways got back on line 1st in my experience. Hospitals have backup generators.
by the look of it centerpoint has all these truck and they don't know how to delegate where to start and begins. it just show you the type of people they have in charge. they have no plan whatsoever on how to access damage and how to fix anything. smh.
Smart meters saved HL&P lots of money, did not have meter readers any more. Remote activation, connect your power, disconnect your power just by tapping a few clicks on the computer, they know if you have electricity service just by talking to the smart meter. Paid $321 dollars for mine. Other states make them free, part of service because hundreds of workers out of work.
It aint the lineman either people. It's our cot in the upper management. I've set a point in reliant. Ercot needs to go half. Those board members don't even live in the state of texas
Well you certainly threw the BS flag sky high there didn’t you? “rich people have standby generators…”. Having backup power has nothing to do with being rich. It is all about planning appropriately. You on here trying to put others down, as if to say you aren’t rich so you can’t have… what kind of car do you drive and how much did you pay for it? Cell phone? Living expenses… it isn’t about rich. It is about choices made. I am not rich, I don’t have a car payment, haven’t had one since 2006. I have put aside money for a standby generator and when I saved enough to pay for it, I called my electrician, told him what I wanted and got his quote to install. I will be under my estimated budget for it. It has taken me almost 5 years to save enough for it. I live in a budget, have no debt, I save until I have what is needed to buy want I want or need. It takes discipline and perseverance. You are using your ignorance, and piss poor planning as excuses. Take ownership of your situation, stop using credit cards, pay for stuff in cash, payoff debt, save money for your future, you take care of you, and stop blaming others. “Rich people, how do you think they got to be where they are? They sacrificed til they made it. You need to do the same. If not, stop whining about others.
I have a Generac. Cost me all of $5,000. It's served me well for 3 hurricanes. I took out a loan, and paid it off over 36 months instead of subscribing to cable TV.
@@t3angling575. Exactly. Why is everyone blaming the power companies. As I recall they forewarned you before it happened. Blame yourself for not being prepared. I did not blame no one cause I was out of power for a week cause of a wildfire. I fired up my generator and life went on. Be prepared people. The government is not going to help you.
@@Rusty1972 our species has become soft and far too reliant on govt and others. Creature comforts have become the norm. Adversity no longer makes you a better person who learns to do with the adverse; it weakens many, is actually crippling. But hey, I do not throw on my bad azz suit a go seeking trouble, they said, if it comes my way, and I have no other option of resolution- by God it’s game on. But I have found in my 60 plus years on this Earth, 9.99% of the time that is a waste of time, energy, and effort, with absolutely nothing gained. Great comment, appreciate you! God bless!
$750 for a generator transfer switch, $500 to run your nat gas line to your power box (if you have one). Now you can have a $1000 generator ready to roll instead of paying $10,000 for one installed.
Mere 3% of entire TX population. Big deal! Deal with it! We got worst shit to deal with all over the nation! You folks were bragging about lots of things. Man up!
Tuesday afternoon after the storm i drove surface streets from Cypress to Stagecoach to Woodlands and back to Cypress. I didn’t see a single electrical crew. Not one.
Cat 5 over Houston would require the military to intervene to maintain order during the 36 months it would take to rebuild the city. Most of the population would need to be relocated. I wonder if the sanctuary cities would have room for them.
Overall this is normal after a hurricane. They are actually ahead of the pace they set with hurricane Ike, 16 years ago. You have to rely on outside utility help. The best thing is for cities to have more emergency shelters available. Disasters take time to remedy.
The morning after. MY Power OUT. I was outside cleaning the mass of tree branches. I literally saw A Parade of Electrical repair vehicles traveling on my highway. I though...it must be SERIOUS! My power was Restored in 30 hrs!🙏
Why haven't you increased the work force santa point? Why did you get rid of a bunch of people centerpoint? Why did you wait till after to contact outside sources of help? You are not prepared, you didn't want to Prepare and you're still charging high rates. You're guaranteed a profit from the city. They need to be altered and they need to be investigated with a microscope
I can already tell you what you’ll find, the linework has remained the same, and the line worker has remained the same, although there are fewer of them. Inside the corporate side of the power companies you’ll find out that they went hot and heavy with DEI, this has resulted in quite the incompetence in not only the day to day operations but when a storm hits, o lord. These companies literally have playbooks to follow for storms, formed over years of experience, unfortunately that experience was forced out due to Lack of diversity, then of course every generation thinks they know more than the last, so they try to rewrite the book, making impractical decisions that ultimately result in delays and in this case incompetence. It’s the sad truth, people may disagree but I’ve seen it with my own eyes. Don’t blame the fellas on the street, look higher, that’s where you’ll find the problem.
"Oh yes, we'll have power back on to one million customers by tonight." Meanwhile, in the background, nothing but rows and rows of electric company trucks ready to roll...WTF!?!?!? Do I look like I have "stupid" written on my fucking forehead??? Sweet Jesus, help save me from a city that STILL HASN'T LEARNED FROM PREVIOUS STORMS!!! Beryl broke several records, didn't follow any of the forecast models, didn't hit Jamaica which they did say it would at one point and I heard a forecaster say it!!! I swear being a meteorologist is the only career where you can completely eff it up yet still be able to keep your job. Ugh!!!
Has someone who's done this work this person is full of it there's no way you're going to get a million people back in 48 hours or 24 hours after that storm hit the tree Crews aren't even a day in front of you Baby by 2 weeks they'll have a million people but I can't see any sooner than that substations power lines and Main distribution lines have to be rehung
They already promised the mayor that they would have it done, John Whitmire has warned them if it isn't done then they will be facing heavy fines and hearings, people like me in Houston are at the point of armed protest at centerpoint energy HQ, if what you say is true then a lot of people at centerpoint will be held accountable and some of us don't care if we have to become judge jury and executioner. Centerpoint has failed us for the last time
The majority commenting have no idea of the complexity of power distribution and the grid. Things have to be done in order as you alluded and they may not get to all the end users on a particular circuit as they are working.
Thought you all had this nailed down and ready to succeed. Looks like you may need some help after all. Texas is a great state...at least the countryside. I grew up there and lover the land but Texas isn't all there is.
The DEI stuff has mostly been implemented inside, on the corporate side, the linemen are still linemen, trust me. Now of course they need to be dispatched properly, and coordination is key, that behind the scenes stuff is where you’ll find the incompetence and the lack of accountability. The linemen will push thru it, and you’ll have power back.
You can't make everyone happy and people tend to have no patience in this instant gratification utopia craving delusional 'quick fix' age we are living in.
