    So where is your generator? Do you not have solar on your roof? Who is unprepared again??? You might want to think about it a little harder friend! Just saying. I want to get solar ASAP, I have a generator for now and it's running and powering my critical devices including a window ac unit I keep for just this purpose. What do you have besides spoiled rotting food and a house so hot you can't bear to stay in it? Just curious... when are Texans gonna learn and stop hating on solar and wind power? I don't mean solar and wind farms, either as they are no better than the fuel power plants we have today, I mean solar on your home's roof and a wind turbine or 2 that you can take down and store during the storm and then put right back up again once the storm has passed! Every home in Texas aught to be energy independent, the "grid" should be for backup purposes only!!! Just saying, I wish my fellow Texans would quit being such sheep when it comes to solar and wind power we need all forms of power not just what big oil want's us to have! HELLO!!!!

    The power outage problem in Houston following the recent hurricane underscores a major issue with infrastructure. It's concerning that in a city where residents pay significant taxes, they still experience outages due to outdated above-ground power systems. Houstonians rightfully expect better service in return for their tax contributions. It's imperative that CenterPoint Energy and city officials prioritize upgrading to underground systems to ensure reliability and meet the expectations of its residents.

    The city of Houston has one of the highest GDPs in the *world* and one of the finest universities on the planet - Rice University. The city has the brainpower and the money. Never understood this - the overall poor planning and lack of employees even though it is well monied. I'm a native Houstonian, but not much has changed over the years. Houston grew too fast without concern for the infrastructure. And we've had one of the finest engineering departments in the world at Rice to help plan. Smh

But what I *will* claim is that city planning could be done with a world renowned engineering and computer science university.

    I think we can all agree we can't wait or depend on Centerpoint so, we have to better prepare ourselves when this happens...why? Because it will happen again! Here's my list of things to have! 1. Have some type of lithium battery bank (have more than one handy)and have it fully charged for your mobile devices and handheld devices. 2. Get a portable lithium battery charger with a couple of outlets on it similar to a power bank. There pretty inexpensive on Amazon. I'd get a couple of them if you have a big family. If you can afford a bigger one get one that can you plug your fridge and microwave. 3. A small to medium size portable A/C unit they have some that can be for bedrooms or small rooms. Cheap on Amazon as well. Small fans will help they can be plugged into the battery chargers. 4. Of course plenty of food non-perishables and water don't wait till the last minute to have the bare necessities. A couple of ice chests with plenty of ice. Yes we are all busy and life happens sometimes, but keep an eye on the news hurricanes and storms always change directions. Even if it's not a direct hit the outer bands can still do some damage. 5. Last but not least a gas powered generator they come in all different sizes some are affordable of course the beefier ones can supply a whole house. If you live in an apartment get a small portable one with several electric outlets. Fairly cheap on Amazon or your local hardware store. Have some gas stored for the long haul. I know there's more that can be added to this list, but this my list. Hope it helps someone!
