What sucks the most is having no power with this heat wave

NE Houston resident here, it was just a Cat 1 hurricane but we got hit dead center so it is now the second day without power and the real feel temperature is above 105 so yeah we're hurting. We had to aid an elderly couple of neighbors last night with extra batteries, lanterns and food because they were in panic mode until an ambulance finally came and picked them up at 3am because the poor people couldn't handle the heat and the darkness any longer.

Folks be patient most of outages are breakers on the poles. If there are no down trees or poles power should be restored pretty quickly. The assessment is to figure out down lines and areas with flipped breakers. There are breakers on electric lines but u can't just flip them on with areas with down lines. Hopefully everyone get power back on in next couple of days.
