Watching this on my phone sweating with my family, including a 4 month old baby.
😢😢
Maybe airport? Cooler
Life sucks
So sorry to hear it! Please look after you and your family's health. If you see any adverse signs try to get to help and a cooler environment. Prayers for you and all Texans.🙏
@@anastyziasassuming you have gasoline or can find it. That you can find a clear path via open roads and powerless traffic lights. Same for ice and food.
This reporter is amazingly compassionate and truthful. Clearly she relates to her community and fellow Texans. Doing a great job. Stay safe and well all Texans.
If you have a tub, block off the overflo hole and fill it all the way. Heat will transfer into the tub water and cool the room down about 5° . Stand in the water and use a saucepan to pour cold water over self, kids, pets, or anyone needing a cool down.
Excellent advice👍
Notice @0:43 that the Live Oak Trees are all fine, it's other species of oaks and pine trees that split and fell over onto people and their homes in the winds! I highly recommend people to plant live oak trees in their yards and around their homes, they grow fast give great shade have extensive root systems and are very flexible (they bend in the wind, instead of breaking). In all my years of hurricanes I have experienced, I have never lost a single live oak tree! Just saying.
oh my god amazing observation those are the same trees i would see always standing after hurricanes in Florida
I have 3 that are very old all made it through direct hit from Micheal
I think she's standing in front of a live oak.. smushed...
Pine trees are native to that area.
i’m say whatever kind of tree you decide to get just keep it pruned and don’t let get taller than your house 🏡 avoid a potential future hazard 😬
Its obvious the "hearts of many have grown cold." Instead of empathy there is a lot of hate in the comments. So sad seeing such rude and hateful thoughts when many are suffering.
Sad to see this suffering was caused by poor political choices.
@@cds8249 is this Houston's first hurricane?
Thank you for your compassion ❤
@@aikanae1No, we have had hurricanes before. The Texas grid is failing over and over.
@@tammyberger exactly. Because Texas won't invest in infrastructure.
Prayers for those that have lost love ones. 😢
Let's all pretend God will help us when the people you elected won't.
🙏🙏🙏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️
Texas energy grid has been notoriously bad for years. Kids not safe in school. Immigrants getting shipped around the country. Ted cruze still has a job and gov addott reelected and where are they???Abbott is overseas and ted cruz is in California. Priorities texans.
and more spew of nothing to do with this weather event....how clueless!
Exactly 👍
Prayers continue for those suffering from the effects of this storm . Jesus I Trust in You 🙏😢🌹
Global warming...
lol yeah I'm sure your prayers will help
Are not al hurricanes and storms God's creations?
@@johndavidwolf4239 Hot and cold air, hot and cold water, high and low pressure gradients all put a lot of measurable energy into the oceans and atmosphere. When the earth balances these energies, the physics of energy moving through a system can be catastrophic for humans and other living things. As humans continue to add CO2 to the atmosphere, more of the sun's energy is trapped close to the earth which adds energy and worsens storms. We were made stewards of God's creation and we are destroying it with our selfishness. God didn't do this, we did.
The same people calling for cuts in govt aid now need govt aid
BS, these people are calling for responsible accountable government, little to no FEMA will be there
Why were they even calling for cuts?
@@kalebwilliams1213Politics. Owning the libs...
And they’ll blame the Democrats… Not that I’m a fan of them either it’s broken, but the alternative is not acceptable
@@BufordTGleason exactly....
Janet has empathy and compassion. God bless you, your family and city expediently.
And this was a category 1 hurricane. Can you imagine a cat 5 hitting Houston??
Category 1 is just as scary 🤔
That's because tx is flat with no mountains.
Beryl was a 3 in Jamaica and didn't do much damage because the island is mountainous. The mountains protected the island. If they had a 3 like Jamaica some homes would be blown 3.
Waiting for the hands out for help from the government they hate, and for sure we will help because that’s who we are, but get real stop putting the knot heads in charge of your state government !!!!!
Its not a handout when you just want your tax money back.
Just because one pays their taxes it doesn’t mean they get it all back in services, not right then. We live in a society and taxes are in part a way to take care of others in such times as this.
Help..from who? The same evil powers that's manipulating storms and climate change sending them to countries and states that doesn't go with their agenda. Trying to get us to bow to baal but we won't till JESUS returns.
No we pay for our electricity and when the ceo makes $37million a year and the company makes billions a year.... We expect them to be prepared for this. Especially with the heat here, my house is 86 degrees inside right now, but at least I have Family nearby with a full home natural gas generator. They knew for over a week we may be impacted yet waited until after the storm to bring in help from out of state and did not not on standby nearby as they usually are. Not to mention their antiquated infrastructure that needs updating. All that money and they could bury the lines and avoid this type of mess, but now it's too late and no real change will ever occur, especially with those who are currently in charge of the state. This was just a cat1 hurricane, I can't imagine if we were to get a stronger one anytime soon, we be doomed.
Texas, the powerless state.
What?
Pos troll
CA moved there
@@chrisdjohnson314 Pos softie

They said it was a nothing storm. The challenge with Texas is their electric grid. Governor is under fire.
She HAD TO make sure to mention Lakewood is attempting to redeem themselves by opening their doors now instead of shutting them in people’s faces, like the last time. 😮
They had to close their doors kadt tine because there was no safe route to get to the church. All the streets in the area were flooded. We'll see what the situation is this time around.
@@richardcogbill6791exactly. The staff wfo run the church was under water themselves but people will never understand it let it go unless they’ve lived through it.
How devastating 😭 Beryl was a beast for so many counties. A piece of my heart is with of you who were affected by this disaster. I’m crying tears for the city of Houston watching this video 💔
So slightly cold weather wrecks Texas grid, so does flooding and 110 degree heat. Good lord, invest in your infrastructure Texas!
That state's only priorities are having more guns
😳😥 I'll be putting Houston TX in my prayers
Texas wanted this. No regulations.
Who told you that
No one wants natural disasters.
@@dinahcolbert9103 Texas has. Repeatedly
it's true. republicans still double tripple quadrupple down on trickle down economics the idea that big business will just do the right thing by consumers. nope because greed is human nature, they end up pocketing it. and they voted in politicians that wanted to cut funding for fema. republicans often vote against their own long term best interests
It is 6pm and we still do not have power! It is hot here and this is ridiculous! I’ve been in Walmart all day trying to stay cool. Completely failure on CenterPoint Energy part.
I can see what is worthy for you. Shame.
are you effing serious?

Click bait photo of the shredded flag is disrespectful. What kind of message are you trying to display? Was that a sign?
Where is Ted Cruz flying this time? Bahamas? Germany?
Cancun and governor Abbott is in Asia.
@@hectorlopez1069 Abbott better not ask for a single FEDERAL DIME either!!!
Build a major city on a flood plain....🤦♀
This
Right, because it also makes sense to build cities on fault lines too
Or close to rivers
Or close to mountains.. or near the coast… lol
Do your research!! County and city planners rejected a relatively cheap (5 million) plan in the 1990s to build a huge pipeline that would funnel flood water to the ocean. They thought it cost too much money. Here we are billions and billions of dollars in storm clean up and repairs later.
Well done,Janet.
Cat one hurricane but still people are without power for two days
Repair teams were not even mobilized prior to the storm. They drove in from other states today.
I would be ecstatic if it were only two days. Center Point is saying it could be two weeks before we have power.
Flood is everywhere in Texas; at the same time, fire is everywhere in California.
Yeah, how can it get any worse.
WE are causing global warming with our selfish habits. The developed world is 15% of global population but we create 80% of the greenhouse gases. You want it, you got it. It's going to get A LOT worse.
No the fire problem in California is nothing close to the flood problem in Texas.
And Biden is nowhere to be found.
@@bsaver5942 A visit from Biden interferes with rescue and recovery efforts. Security, police, and journalists flock around the president and prevent first reponders from doing their work. The admistrative agencies responsible for helping are in Texas and working. Biden should NOT interfere- - this is NOT a time for a photo op
Relax. Trump will be there on Monday to toss out paper towels and brag about his crowd size. Maybe even Melania will show up wearing her "I Really Don’t Care, Do You?" coat.
yes..as our money goes to the nazis of Ukraine...grow up
If I could get over there I would help out with the relief
Where’s Center Point?? Where’s Governor Abbott??
I can answer the Abbott question. He’s on an international business trip right now. Like during the freeze Ted Cruz was on vacation like we need politicians who care about the state and the people it’s absolute bs.
JJ WATT > GOV
Is this the same power grid that froze them out a few years ago? And they voted Abbott back in.
...THE POWER GRID WAS FINE...this is all local Center Point Energy damage to lines/transformers issues.... NOTHING TO DO WITH ABBOTT
Exactly.
@@wokewokerman5280 where is Abbott btw?
@@kalebwilliams1213 Overseas working to get more industry in Texas....
It's funny how there are so many liberals in the comments talking about the Texas power grid like you're mad about it or something. 😂😂😂
God is in control
Amen
This is like a verbal pacifier. It doesn't do anything, doesn't help anyone, and sounds ridiculous . . . but I guess it makes you feel better to say that. If "god" is in control then can he give that control to someone who can do a better job? Getting tired of all the kids getting cancer.
Loss of wetlands and destruction of the watershed... What do you expect?
prayers go out to those affected... looks like the damage from the Omaha tornado's back in April 26th 2024... and the floods in Omaha the past couple weeks.
Texas off the grid again. While I'm enjoying my air conditioning out West.
In CA?
@@kathleenking47 Yes, or any western states, nothing wrong with that and better than Taxes self-destructing itself.
I lived in Texas for over 16 years. I can't wait to get the hell out of this backward hillbilly state. " My gun can stop the hurricane !!!!"
With all the damaging storms that have hit Houston, I would expect a number of people are fleeing Houston.
As a Houstonian, I hope people leave. It’s too many people here
Lived here 35 years, it's fine, just we have 1mm+ new people who don't know what it means to be prepared for Hurricane season..... This was the first hurricane to make landfall in 3yrs! Not exactly an everyday occurrence
@@elDoober I’m so tired of these weak out of towners constantly complaining
Jesus loves everyone on here, seek him daily❤🙏
It’s nothing just a category 1🤡
I’ve never seen a Cat 1 do this much damage. Been here my whole life. It’s almost like there were some tornadoes they’re not reporting.
Get a brain
Terrible storms are God's way of telling you to believe in Science. 🙏 🤲
Science also lies a lot. Better say: to accept what is in front of your eyes, all the mess you have been approving, supporting and doing.
I learned while I was in the"Boy Scouts of America"when there's inclement weather the flag"Old Glory"is supposed to be taken down.💯
I feel so bad for the people living there. Vloods and sweltering conditionsbate a horrible combination. This is just one of the reasons we live in Massachusetts, not Texas
Good for you. I personally dislike cold, depressing weather
I'm sure Ted Cruz is in Cancun or on the way there...anyone seen him lately?

Mayor Whitmires conference on Beryl.
Did anyone see the bus running down the street at beginning?
I guess you can mess with Texas after all!
It's too late for lakewood ..their judgment is set
Don't worry Ted Cruz and Gregg abbet are safe and sound enjoying the great cancun weather. Let's thank them by voting for them again. 😮
Ted Cruz was standing right next mayor whitmire on the emergency broadcast.i live in Houston and watched it. Why do you lie?
@@britt3313 that wasn't Ted cruz
So you’re one of those people that spread misinformation.🤡
.... says senile Biden?????
The true definition of insanity. Step up TX!
Peace be still🙏🏾❤️
Texas brought this on themselves.
Texas never liked the United States of America (except for federal funds) - build a WALL on the northern border of Texas and give Texas back to Mexico????
However, thoughts and prayer for them
Got their own power grid... own it... don't ask the Fed to help... you wanna be a country? Go ahead... f texas
...THE POWER GRID WAS FINE...this is all local Center Point Energy damage to lines/transformers issues.... no fed help needed like you sponges.....

But we’re on your side, a red state. Why you hating on us?
You vote for trump... you're an enemy of the United States...
Governor Abbott gonna look like a cartoon mouse beggin' Biden for more government cheese.
Oh say does that Star Spangled banner still wave,o' the land of the free and the home of the Brave.
I'm an electrician. I hooked my own home up with a back up generator. My family will not suffer and we can have heat or AC on demand with or without Centerpoint. (Not generac)
Many people call me and ask me to hook them up. But they think $750 for labor is a scam.
Enjoy the heat that you asked for.
I'm not a grinch tho. I loaned out a generator and invited many neighbors over to charges their stuff.
I had 60 gallons of gas on hand (like always) plus 20 large propane tanks...
Some people learn...and others vote blue no matter who and expect a different result.
Change the thumbnail, I don't want to see a torn flag, show some respect
😅😂
@@Operator_68 actually it’s not.
The fact that our flag has withstood everything from civil skirmishes to TWO full on wars to a storm that amounts to, basically, a natural act of God.
And it's still there. THAT'S America.
I completely understand your sentiment, and I'm sure that this channel chose the thumbnail to deliberately send a message. However, I like to be more patriotic in my response.
Not up to you. Show some respect
@@Operator_68lol k bro 😂
The same path that the eclipse took. God is finishing writing his name. Praying for all affected 🙏
That’s not God it’s humans not taking care of the earth he gave us!
I would send a relief check, but I dropped my last dime in Trump's criminal defense fund.
Maybe Trump will do a telethon......for himself 😂
Someone who knows how take down the flag, retire it in the proper way and replace it. God bless America.
Praying, always good to invest in a generator
They're just smarter than us in TX
That is unfortunate.
May God protect you all.
Texas, always gets hit. The weather has been unbearably hot, I hope people get their electric on quickly. The elderly and the young feel that heat the most, i hope they get some help there asap.
How will everyone charge their EV's ?
move to Texas, they say.
no!
Those EV will come in handy without power (not).
Solar / Photovoltaic Panels on every roof with backup batteries. ☀️
We have such incredible wealth above our feet in the sky. 🌞☀️🌄🔆😎 Free energy. 😮
Plants Love free energy.
SUN = Thermonuclear furnace 🌞
It's fueled by nuclear reactions that fuse hydrogen atoms together into helium and it has more than enough fuel to last Billions and Billions of Years; very dependable never fails.
It's about personal responsibility. 😮
Energy producers don't want you to rely on the Sun; guess why?
You're right! We need to drive less and I think that hybrid electric/gas cars is the way to go. Fixing global warming now won't stop these severe weather events but will prevent them from worsening at an exponential rate as they are predicted to do. The predictions for severe weather events were too conservative; climate scientists are shocked at how rapidly bad things are getting.
An EV could give electricity to your house at this time. EVs and combustion vehicles need to be filled (charged) before the disaster strikes. Try to fill up without electricity.
@@bonniepoole1095 I agree with you. I dont believe fixing gloval warming put a stop to these natural disasters. In fact, men aren't capable of fixing the harm they've caused nor continue to. Jehovah was right how these last days would turn out to be cited in Matthew 24:6-7 written 2500 years ago.
@@alfredogonzalez1280 or you could buy and keep a generator for any use 😳
If you need power for medical reasons call the power company and let them know.
This never happened when Turner was mayor
His US Senator's office could assist him with this.
Still cleaning up the damages here and not many Internet or cell phones services up along with electricity
Is Ted in Cancun?
This is an area known for hurricanes and power failures.... why doesn't everyone have a damned generator?
Showing the flag torn is something the news would show. If no respect for the people than at least for the flag!
Yep. That’s what storms do. 🤷♂️
Yall have the money and the power to rebuild
Get that Tesla money 💰
Uh oh....how are all those Evs gonna get charged up?
So sad...
Oh goodness hope the newcomers were provided with the best rain=storm gear and shelter
shameless employers making their employees work with no power 😢smh
Torn flag made me think of my government.
State government....that's God's work
Get prepared, people. The time is NOW! The government is not going to help you, it is up to YOU!
Get yourself a medium-sized generator that will run a window-unit A/C. Keep a decent supply of gasoline on hand (10 gallons would last 3 days running generator sparingly). Also, have generator and space heater ready for the next ICE STORM (remember that? Did you PREPARE after that nightmare?)
Amazing how many of the commenters here believe Texans drive EVs. We don’t. It’s all pickup trucks, gas or diesel, with and without nuts.
Bravo 👏 Texans, you chose your abbot, ted cruz. Enjoy your selections!!
No, we didn't! Republicans made sure that opposition votes did not count or were "diluted" by re-drafting electoral districts. Houston is a Blue Dot in TX and most of us are "closer to the center" (when it comes to political beliefs)...
Abbot and ted cruz had nothing to do with the flood. God has control of the weather. Need to be praying for these people instead of leaving smart comments. 🙏🇺🇸
Ban geoengineering.
What??
I agree, we should ban humans manipulating the weather through the burning of fossil fuels for industry and transportation thereby increasing the amount of greenhouse gasses in the atmosphere and changing major weather patterns. Thanks for being eco-friendly. We only have 1 Earth.
At the same time people are still shopping at memorial city mall, Lol. Meanwhile im working fixing other peoples air conditioning, my family is at home in the heat with no power. Life isnt fair, one mans fun is another mans hell. Life goes on we will bounce back like nothing ever happend in a couple of weeks.
And the 3rd world governor and senator have left the state. You are on your own.
Wow no power business taking cash only.. no cash app sad .. no lights and it’s not declared a disaster money running out really ,, no gas..
Bad example pretzels don’t snap
The US should stop getting it's flags from Temu. 🤣
You know that doesn't help your case, right? That's an American made flag, but oh my! It's fallen apart, because NOT EVERYTHING made is America is "oh so strong and superior", so the little jabs at China/Temu is just an overly used deflection to sound "tougher/better"
Made in Texas 🇺🇲
Who left the flag up during a hurricane?
God
Prayers
good luck texass, …………YOUR ON YOUR OWN ELECTRICAL GRID, it’s YOUR problem now.
Of course abbot is out of the country...what a coincidence
Was this the same storm that was supposed to have 150 mph winds when it came ashore. It was only 75 mph. More media lies.
Live your life looking for lies don't you? 😂
@@greenearthblueskies8556 no. I’m tired of the media terrifying the public. There is a big difference between 75 mph wind and a 150 mph wind. There will still be damage but whole communities won’t be leveled. Every report on this storm had the words “climate change” in. Comes ashore as a tropical storm. Big difference.
