Tracking power outages across Texas | Aftermath of Hurricane Beryl

A better question is: Why did the power go out so easily?

Bro this happens twice in two months, ridiculous,how can we not get through a level 1 is beyond me.

It’s strange that Florida has category 2, 3 and even 4, and the power rarely turns off, and yet a derecho and category 1 can devastate Houston. Houston…we have a problem.

How about tell us the areas that have had their power restored. Instead of just reading the website.

A cat 1 comes ashore 80 miles south of Houston and now 85% of Harris County is dark. What's wrong with this picture?

Drove 40 minutes to work haven’t seen any white truck what a joke

It’s hot asf in Houston fix this shit

Galveston has no business open no gas stations and not one damn center point truck in Galveston. BS

CenterPoint turns the power off! And You will notice, the affluent neighborhoods get the power back first! At least where I live in Galveston....

Texas city been waiting...since last night

"DO NOT USE EXTENSION CORD" This is just WRONG. What it should have said is "DO NOT USE A 'SUICIDE' CORD" to back feed power into your house's wiring. Extension cords are fine to use and should be used in order to keep the generator far away from living spaces to prevent carbon monoxide poisoning/deaths. Just make sure the extension cord you use is rated to handle the power. Longer cords require thicker conductors. Don't cheap out on it. (when you think about it, your house is chock full of "extension cords" between the breaker panel and the outlets; their conductors are sized appropriately for those runs)

In magnolia and Conroe along 1488 we’re currently without power,get on it u privatized losers

Can't believe that the grid is so frail after only a Cat 1 storm. Imagine if it was a Cat 5 storm.

I still don’t have power in Spring Tx

Houstonians it's about to get hot today 🥵 please let's not panic , if you have elders in the neighborhood, check on them . We got to stick together and stay in prayer. If you have a outdoor carport you can get in the car and turn on the A/C but don't try that if the garage isn't open . The energy company should be ashamed as much as they make us pay them and gauge energy prices up. Energy is more than rent in Houston.

Declare state of emergency

Yea it's like pointless to even have a generator when fuel is 2 hours away might as well sleep in your vehicle

I bet river oaks has power

Texas infrastructure is embarrassing

There are no power trucks no where on 249 and 45 area all gas stations are down and most of the food stores are closed. We drove it and ran into a large group of pissed off people. CENTERPOINT said the same numbers 8 and 6 hours ago this report was 3 hours old watching it. Houston has fallen
