I'm really asking, because I don't get how (other than keeping trees trimmed farther away from power lines) they could prevent mother nature from breaking stuff or how they could get stuff fixed faster with a limited employee base.
A few issues:
1) They have all sorts of excuses why they don't upgrade a failing grid.
2) THEY DIDN'T MOBILIZE ANYONE TILL 2 DAYS AFTER THE STORM HIT.
3) They do not provide any information as the when one can expect power to come on.

People can deal with data provide it you give it to them. No decent communication. Their web site is a joke. The map they show doesn't make any sense. If you look, the places that are 'under assessment
are the 5th Ward and parts of the 3rd Ward which are very poor parts of Houston. Downtime has juice. Some of Midtown.

Had T-storms yesterday and today. The end of days are near...
