    This was a CAT 1 hurricane that only formed close to where it landed south of Houston. Imagine if it had more time to get to CAT 2! The conditions on the Gulf would have allowed for a CAT 2 had Beryle has more time before land fall. This is a sorry state of all the damage, why are these types of trees allowed to grow if the roots are so shallow that with rain-soaked soil the 80-mph wind knocks them down? Maybe there isn't any kind of tree that would survive CAT 1 wind speed. All these neighborhoods need to get the power lines installed underground instead of up on poles where tree limbs intertwine. You pay once or end up paying every time a hurricane comes through. Houston is just a jumble of no zoning law neighborhoods where developers can get away with all manner of shenanigans. Hurricanes uncover all the weak spots. Time to clear out some trees and then think of something besides putting the same type of tree back in place.

    • @recyclingrevolution4905
      @recyclingrevolution4905 Před 19 dny +2

      The trees fell because they planted as grown up trees, they didn’t grow up on these spots, that’s why their roots are not deep in the ground and easy to fall on the street. Houston is beautiful city, with wonderful people, but weather is unbearable in summer or winter 😢.

From black ice in February to flooded streets and I-10 in the summer from two tropical depressions (which I had to white knuckle drive through from Baytown back to Houston not once but twice) and get covered in sweat while walking less than 30 feet from my apartment to my car due to the heat and humidity at 7 am, I counted two weeks of excellent, humidity free weather. Excellent restaurants, lots of shops and great entertainment aside, that weather is a no go for me, and one of the primary reasons I chose to start my career in the SF/Bay Area over a similar opportunity in Houston.

      @@english7451 I'm sot really sure what it is you're tying to communicate here. I simply said people on the Gulf Coast need a generator, nothing about infrastructure. Nothing about poor or cheap or flood or mud. I commented on the Gulf Coast. 125,000 square miles of space, with a vast array of different economic categories and infrastructure. And the richest town to the poorest neighborhoods will all and always be wrecked by the right storm. So again, not sure what it is you're trying to say, but I hope you have a good day.

    This is houston. I grew up here.
    This is why it used to be so cheap to live in houston.
    We would have to increase our electric rates by 1/3 if you want it to be more reliable after a hurricane.
    This will happen at least every decade. Prepare, have an emergency fund so you can leave the city if you can't have a generator.
    After the storm, maintain your generator. Clean the air filter, clean the spark arrestor, change the oil if it ran for more than a day or two.
    If you use gasoline make sure that you follow the proper maintenance for gasoline to clean out the carburetor.
    This will happen again in the future. It may even happen again this summer.
    Good luck everyone.

    Why is it that probably the second richest state in the USA cannot afford generators and can't run their power lines in a manner so that a mere Category 1 landfall doesn't disrupt the power supply?
    I live in Louisiana and have been through a couple dozen hurricanes from Cat 1 to 150mph Cat 4, and the only one that knocked out our power more than 2 days was Ida. Even Katrina only knocked the power out for 2 days. Louisiana is one of the poorest states in the nation and we have a lot more trees to fall on power lines, yet we're somehow better equipped to deal with it than Texas? Sounds like mismanagement to me.

Good or bad, it's nothing that the lt. governor hasn't already handled. He's saying all the right things and putting a fire under Centerpoint's ass. Yeah, I know. Politician crap that doesn't matter to us directly. As slow as Centerpoint was in mobilizing, for whatever reason, they are out in force today, I saw hundreds of trucks on my way from work, and they fixed a big chunk of the spring area where I live, so they ARE getting stuff done. I was critizicing them as well, and still are. There's no excuse for the way emergency management is handled in Houston. People gotta put their heads together and harden the transmission network.
