    When God speaks he has spoken to us all. Even if His message is through Hurricane Beryln. Centerpoint, the linemen, whatever conduits his message comes, let's pray instead of complaining. Center point, The Mayor, The Governor, The Attorney General cannot over rule the Power of God Almighty. This heat cannot be compared with Hells fire, where there will be no escape or relief. Let us pray more, and complain less. Let's look around and be thankful and grateful for all the blessings we have.🙏

    There should be some investigation of CenterPoint's preparedness and response once everyone's power has been restored. And CenterPoint's communications have been abysmally poor. But I wonder if that unfortunate woman has ever considered looking in the mirror when she says at 2:58 "You know hurricane season, you know how Houston is on hurricane season. Make arrangements." Is it purely CenterPoint's accountability to make arrangements for hurricane season, or does she have some accountability for her own arrangements as well?

    I think some blame has to go on homeowners who allow their trees to grow unmanageably tall and they don't trim them properly to withstand strong winds. They also allow their trees to grow through around and above power lines. That is utterly ridiculous and irresponsible. Centerpoint has to contend with downed trees BEFORE they can make repairs. I don't work for Centerpoint and I don't know anyone who does. I see these problems in my own subdivision and in all the neighborhoods I drive through. It's such an obvious problem.

    @@mike_w-tw6jd They are responsible only for the portion not on the property owner's property. The property owner is still responsible for their side. But that is only regarding trees entangled with power lines (usually along back of property line). Other massively tall trees on the property owner's property that are also not regularly trimmed to better withstand high winds then fall over and topple power lines. Yes, Centerpoint has their responsibility to trim trees entangled in power lines and they may have dropped that ball in a lot of instances but why is the property owner allowed to plant trees under and alongside power lines? And why is the property owner allowed to grow trees that are oversized and not regularly maintained to withstand high winds and heavy rain? BTW I am a property owner and I have no trees on my property but I regularly maintain my side of my two neighbors' three trees. There are no power lines nearby but there is my house which I want to protect.

For your own home have prepared a box fan for each main room and one small window ac unit you can use for the center of the home . One 3500 generator will qualify for emergency usage to keep a fridge , a 5000 btu ac window unit and a few other devices ..The gulf coast is at our back door , it will always destruct lives .
