I’m sorry for the situation and hope power is restored. Still please be careful going on TV and showing your house, telling the public you don’t lock it, and sharing where you sleep, etc. keep your security in mind.
I just got electricity back this evening and have been staying in the back of my Prius with my dogs for the same reason. I'm beyond thankful my car has been easy on gas. This has been so mentally and emotionally draining.
Dogs have been outside for 100’s of year. Give them shade and water, and they’ll be fine. Go get a generator, solar, this isn’t centerpoijts fault. It’s a giant storm, Houston is a huge metropolis, it doesn’t happen over night. This generation is so weak. Yeh, it sucks, but it’s not the end of the world.
I'm so saddened to hear hers and so many others are STILL without power?!!! I live in South Texas, I've been without for weeks & know how horrible & unbearable it is... Prayers it comes back on soon!!! Houston Really needs to step up & come up with a Master plan to Ensure this doesn't happen again!!!! it's unacceptable! 🙏♥
Sorry for all those suffering in the heat without power. You are blessed that you have a car, that you can put gas in and have the air conditioner run. Many elderly don't even have that. Hopefully , this power is restored. Maybe save and invest in a solar generator, if this area is frequently prone to such outages.
Even as weather conditions worsen, people still deny it. Weather wise the future for Texas looks bad and on top of that, people keep moving there making thing even worst. More people more problems.
@@Soulsoother333 Thanks for your kind words. I still don’t have power.Maybe, we are getting our electricity back on Friday in Kingwood according to Center Point.
Everyone in Tx and other areas prone to outages needs to get a good generator for power outages. Centerpoint should provide their customers with generators until they get their act together. I live in a rural area and seldom have outages, certainly in part because they are constantly trimming back trees from power lines. I went 2 weeks without power after a Cat 3 hurricane and the neighborhood pulled out grills and cooked everything in their freezers and fed the entire neighborhood for days.
I encourage everyone that has the means to take emergency preparedness seriously. After not having power in the winter I forced myself to acquire certain things. I had to make some sacrifices. But it’s a one and done situation. After that, you have insurance for your household. If you can afford it, just do it.
I hope she gets her power on quick. I noticed that the neighborhood still have the old transformers, they need to get the new ones and maybe that will help.
That’s terrible. I can’t imagine trying to live in all the heat with no relief from the heat. These utility companies are nothing but monopolies that bleed people dry trying to pay them. I bet none of the upper managers are living without electricity. It’s almost like this country is becoming a third world country.
Keep doing interviews with people who need electricity and the power trucks will show up just like in this story. When phone calls don’t work then having bad publicity about a company usually produces results.
@@nkemobim there’s over 12,000 crew working from what I remember hearing. Millions have been restored. It’s been a week now, it only makes sense you’ll see them around getting the remainder complete.
My mom is in Pasadena with circuit level damage. I'm in Springbranch with circuit level damage. People in Baytown, Pearland, Livingston. This is very different from the Derecho winds.
It's sad that it take the media to bring them there!!! That tells that the maps are not accurate. Just wondering had the reporter not done this report whether she would still be there without power!
These local "news" stations need to stay on top of this issue regularly from now on. Especially AFTER everyone's power has been restored. Accidents and storms happen yes. But the aging grid issues, lack of foresight PRIOR to storms and response times need to be addressed. Just covering it after failures isn't enough. Instead of covering the weather FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES during a 30 min news segment, cover and expose these problems regularly to help us with future outage issues.
:( I feel so sorry for everyone.. from my family here in Utah 🙏 this is the stuff that happens when you don't have to have regulations for your Rich buddies
Our ancestors never had air conditioning. Their bodies were acclimated and their entire life was not based on electricity. Her livelihood requires her to have power. If she is not working, she is not earning money. I feel for these people. This is hurting the lower income families.
Exactly! Come on people. Yes is very uncomfortable but....Why are you panicking?🙄🙄 Yes it is bad, but, come on. Stores WERE always OPEN!, gas was available!!, food too!! Nice and warm showers! I had to throw away ALL my food but some fast restaurants were open. Even food trucks! Yes this situation is bad but OMG! If you can walk, if you have a house, a car, just feel bless and dont complain too much. Bc others are less fortunate than you are.
It just really sucks that there's the people there and the ability to do this but the company and the bureaucracy with work orders is dragging this out
Been through this exact same thing so so many times , I think it was 3 weeks we lost power for after Ike. That was the longest I think that was eveb longer then Rita. I know the pain of not being able to sleep at night because you are so hot. Every summer this happens to a lot of us and seems like it’s getting worse and worse every year.
So how will houstonians be compensated for this. I lost a month worth of groceries. I can’t shower I can’t cook I can’t SEE I can’t sleep. I need some money for this mess.
How were you not able to shower? There was running water and it was coming out warm but cold water was welcoming if it came. I think it’s risk when we lose groceries…I’m just buying less freezer food and more can goods during hurricane season.
My neighbor's broke down yesterday and yelled until they cried. Their car ran out of gas, no generator, many kids. And can't do anything to help as a neighbor.

@@JacobBitner from experience tears never solve anything . I suggest they call 311 to get a ride to a cooling center in the daytime and seek help there .
@@beautifulsoulgirl8683 our gas stations have been out of fuel for a week with no power as well. It was a really hard hit area but due to trees and other vegetation.
@@JacobBitner thank you for explaining. I’m in Katy but we have gas and power has been back on after day 3. I’m so sorry to hear what’s going on over there.
To think that there are people who have nothing and live in the streets. How fortunate it must be to at least have a vehicle and a home, albeit without electricity.
I see the value of world oldest profession gets impacted by personal desires and comforts😂 prices drop when not propped up by those 2 things😂 they start begging for some relief🎉
Lot of unprepared people. Apparently it’s something new that we have hurricanes here. 😂 and why can’t ya lock your doors . They are mechanical and use a key .
Bro - it’s just a house. Go be comfortable at your mom’s house. You can’t work at your mom’s house? I don’t understand. Human life and comfort > material belongings. This decision of hers to stay separated from her family and sleep in a car and then be worn out by it….DUH!!!! Idiocracy again and again and again.
She missed her kids? Where are they? If She has a house, why is she sleeping in her car??? I mean we were out of power for 7 days but we still had water to, shower, and many organisations, and community centers were given away water, ice and food. To keep the house cool we just opened many windows in the house. We were out of power for 7 days but we were still be able to find gas, and food. Many stores were open🙄 Fast food restaurants and even food trucks!!! Yes it is bad but come on people!! Relax. I feel bad for babies, young children and elderly, disable, and sick people but the rest have to do the best in a bad situation.
@@ShannonsBibleStudy of course they didnt,and if soooo they don't listen very well. It's obvious her doors probably lock electronically otherwise what else could of been the issue. She took the kids to her mom's. And She needed to stay behind and keep an eye on her shht!!!
Meanwhile alot of people live on the street or a old car without AC... That woman is NOT humble, what a crock of shite lol. How can she not lock her doors¿ Too much "smart" technology. I'm glad I dont have to answer these peoples calls but when they call their car insurance because they want so fuel or a tow or wreck, then I get to deal with these people, sheesh I don't want any callers from the state of TX, they are worse than the cry babies in NY/NJ double.
Don't tell people where you are or what you're doing. It's scary enough sleeping outside. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I was thinking the same thing. This world is evil. You can’t trust ANYONE………….
THANK GOD SHE HAS A CAR.
God didn't give me a car she bought that house 😂
Thank you to the reporter out talking to real people ❤❤❤

Probably
I think it’s more about shady neighbors waiting for opportunity, no cameras or alarms
Absolutely horrible! This is HOUSTON??
My heart goes out to these people, 5 days in Humble for us & it was HELL, I can’t imagine going beyond the 5th day. It’s so hot you can’t breathe
In Kingwood and we on the 9th and still counting smh
