More than 1 million still without power in Houston in sweltering heat
With more than 1 million people still without power in the Houston area after Hurricane Beryl, some hospitals are operating under generator power, and emergency room visits are up as temperatures soar. Sweltering heat continued for tens of millions around the country and is blamed for dozens of deaths. NBC News' Kathy Park reports.

Record profits, no accountability, and complete incompetence. All of their executives should be fired immediately and with no severance packages. Definitely no bonuses this year. Beryl was a minor event compared to the 4 major storms predicted for this season.

@@silentmajority8365you clearly don’t know anything. Energy companies can also be public hahaha but that’s besides the point. Texas decided they didn’t want to be part of the United States grid and decided to do it on their own and have their own energy grid with their own regulations. This storm was a category 1. It shouldn’t have done this much damage. Florida didn’t even have these bad of a power outage and they were hit with a category 4. Please research more. It’s strictly because of RED STATE POLICIES.

Local here. They own the poles. Houston use to divide the power poles for each region of the city with different companies. Center Point operates nearly all of Houston now and chooses to not hire enough employees or have stations in each region of the city which results in poor management and week long waits. They also refuse to let their linemen work through the night or pay them overtime. It’s all about their bottom dollar even if that means people die.

This confirms what I have been afraid of: the way modern homes are built makes the southern areas of the US a dangerous place to live in during extreme temperatures, at least without some kind of personal generator. Anytime conditions are bad enough that the modern infrastructure powering everything breaks down (cold or hot) it's a problem. Perhaps older built structures from before electricity was a thing still could be okay for habitation without AC but at this point evacuating wouldn't have been about surviving the storm (since a Cat 1 isn't that scary overall) just surviving the after.
@AlvinBrinson
Ай бұрын
A big problem is the way homes and apartments are insulated. They trap heat inside during the day. So even though the outdoors cools off (some) at night, the heat is trapped in the home all night so it remains significantly hotter indoors than out. Opening windows and doors doesn't help much because they aren't designed for ventilation.
@CrownxMe7

In other words, capitalism causes US to abandon beneficial architectural options in favor of cheaper housing and poor insulation techniques. Everything looks the same, although the climate ranges drastically in the entire country. The US is in dire straits, incompetency is rampant and the whole country has been sold to foreign investors. Did I mention your utilities are owned by foreign investors?
This is what happens when you vote for halfman Abott and Cancun Cruz
Make sure that a generator is at least 25 feet away from a door or window when it is running.

If no AC and no generator. For next thime get a portable battery solar generator, a small an energy efficient DC car fridge freezer, a fan and a bunch of large empty soda bottles. Put water in all the bottles and freeze them. When frozen put one bottle in front of a fan at a time. Should last about 2 hrs each. The solar generator will be enough to power the DC fridge and fan for a while. Not as cold as real AC but really helps.
