@@jackieoesterman6688 you're correct.. you can definitely tell that people that live in a neighborhood like this can afford at minimum a generator to at least power up fridges and a a/c window unit.. "by failing to prepare, you're preparing to fail" 🤷
They can, stores are operation off of generators, I merch out there from Houston, gas stations are open too, but it does no good if residents don’t have power this sucks
9 days going on 10 days and they told us maybe Wednesday if not Friday we are in aldine 😅 we had called centrepoint before telling them that we had limbs on a line that sparked when wind blew took them 2 months for that problem
Kingwood will always be Houston’s red headed stepchild. We didn’t vote for 95% of the local elected officials, so they don’t really give AS about Kingwood. Just keep paying the taxes!!
I wish they would've interviewed Royal Brook and parts of Northpark that aren't "supposed" to have power until the 19th according to the map. I imagine if the map shows the neighborhood in the video has power it will be almost July 30 when Royal Brook and the surrounding Northpark area gets power
You are correct. I bought my portable backup generator three years ago for under 1K and it has assisted our home at least three times. Sometimes we spend more than that in things that are not even necessary.

@@debbiejohnson7758they know where they live.. they should have been prepared since the day they moved in.. most definitely not the first storm that knocks out power In Houston . No sympathy from me for lack of doing research and being prepared 🤷🤷
Lowes off 249 near Willowbrook has a whole row of firman generators and gas canisters as soon as you enter by the entrance. Walk forward a couple feet and they have ac units and fans.
They were all booked and most didnt have power either...crazy part people were having to go out of town to get them and they jacked rates up per night knowing people needed those rooms...smh!!!
Why yall cut her off when she was about to start spitting facts
They know what their doing, keep quiet, and pay your taxes and electricity. Don't look behind the curtain and ask questions.
😢😢😢😢😢 I know how that feels, I had 7 days with no power, I pray they will have their electricity back soon 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Facts. Went 6 days with no power. And it was intense. Luckily my job let us stay there. But it was still rough not being home.
There is no reason for this! Unbelievable.
even when the power turn back on yall shouldnt let this slide.

There are several Kingwood neighborhoods. I’m in one of them no power since last Monday.
lawsuits
my power went out at 5:30 am monday morning and is still out
These people should be compensated!
They won't and it's unfortunate.
Compensated.. 😂😂 There about to have a storm surcharge on their bill.. guarantee that’s coming…
Not when there's a monopoly.
You really cutt her off to what was more important to hear.. Media trying to control things like always
Cat 1 exposed CenterPoint for what they are. A bunch of crooks
Praying for yall
they can’t even get groceries christ CENTERPOINT IS GARBAGE
They can, stores are operation off of generators, I merch out there from Houston, gas stations are open too, but it does no good if residents don’t have power this sucks
@@JC_wonderland what if they are living paycheck to paycheck like a typical American. $700+ generators aren’t free
@@bankrollbrooklynn cost about the same as paying for electricity
@@playertwo1516 to purchase one?
They live in Kingwood for crying out loud. Yes, it sucks .. but there are more vulnerable areas in need
That's awful
I feel bad for everyone 😔
Texas praying for all.
I just got mine back today spent nearly 300 on gas to run the generator
This is due to lack of tree trimming by CenterPoint for years. Consult an Attorney...God Bless...
I have Co-op in my small town and Asplundh sp? trims our trees around power lines often. Rural area🤔
Please sign the petition 🙏 I posted the link
@@mindyourbusiness302 That's contracted out by your power provider. Your one of the lucky ones...
Unacceptable!
Everybody get out of your home if you have no AC. Leaving your kids and pets inside is like leaving them in a hot car.
I know people in Puerto Rico who didn’t have power for 7 months after Maria.
Okay? And
@@VivaLaZach be happy you arent one of those people who doesnt have electricity all their life
kingwood looks nice but has too many Flooding and power issues
All that glitter isn’t gold
Yeah me and wifey sometimes walk down Kingwood drive and we come down from Kansas City, to visit my family. I see how it can get flooded. Very swampy.
Many in N.O. Never got their power back after Hurricane Katrina
No worries. CenterPoint executives will still get their huge year end bonuses.
We just got ours in the afternoon. & i was constantly giving our dogs a cold bath ever 15 min
UNACCEPTABLE!!!
I understand their frustrations. After a hurricane where I live, our whole neighborhood didn't have power for 16 days....in early August.
9 days going on 10 days and they told us maybe Wednesday if not Friday we are in aldine 😅 we had called centrepoint before telling them that we had limbs on a line that sparked when wind blew took them 2 months for that problem
Houston needs to quit being cheap and bury its power lines
😂😂😂😂
and our highways lol
@@korbendallas7181Bury our highways? Below sea level? That sounds like a solid plan 😳
@@feralhomunculus just like burying those power lines eh?? *SoLiD*
It would make it harder to work on.
6 days no power and fema refuses to help with 750$.
They cut her after, it's just a CAT1 storm
Why??
Day 10 and at my wits end. The Centerpoint map is useless.
I wasn’t born yet, but my dad said he was out of power for 2 weeks after Hurricane Alice.
I think people are starting to realise that they cannot rely on utilities for all the power needs. Natural Gas, water, electricity.
What day nine
All that power map is was some dude or woman took the map, opened up paint, then got to scribbling.
❤My Heart goes out 2 you guy's
More would've had no power had the storm been stronger. For a lengthier time?
Day 9? The Hurricane hit last Monday 8 days.
this is day 10 boi learn to count
Kingwood will always be Houston’s red headed stepchild. We didn’t vote for 95% of the local elected officials, so they don’t really give AS about Kingwood. Just keep paying the taxes!!
10th day here in Kingwood without power. Finally seeing Centerpoint trucks though, so we’re moving in the right direction hopefully.
Let me tell you houston is miserable in the summer .
Good lesson to learn from for certain. Be less dependent on things as much as one can.
Then _what are you paying taxes for?_
I wonder how would you hold up in a 100F home with no light no generator no power no NOTHING! You are sooo off!
Get a generator and a window a/c unit....At least you can cool one room to sleep at nite
Doesn't mean they can find these items. Maybe they can prepare for the next time.
Hopefully they can afford to
This wasn’t even a big storm. WTF!? Centerpoint

Kingwood has buried power lines. Why don’t they have power?
@@selanryn5849 Service lines are buried. Distribution lines are overhead.
Buried only in certain places...
This is insane.
Only in the NRG capital
Dayummmm now that's Criminal
9 Days!
U.N.A.C.C.E.P.T.A.B.L. E.
Hotels available now. Please go!
Not when the people running the hotels take advantage of the situation and charge you an absurd amount of money 😢
on ur tab?
Abbott is ultimately responsible for this debacle.
Huge homes yet they cant afford a hotel room???
This is why you prepare for emergencies ahead of time. There is no excuse for a residential home to not have backup power.
Indeed, if you are one of the fortunate few to afford that luxury...
You are correct. I bought my portable backup generator three years ago for under 1K and it has assisted our home at least three times. Sometimes we spend more than that in things that are not even necessary.
I bet lots of generator sales in the coming weeks. Storms are gearing up so…
🙏🙏🙏😰
Texas electricity is like a 3rd world country.
I did 7 days
Only day 8
You know. News reporters used to be hot. Not chunky….inflation I guess
It’s called being PC inclusion can’t deny a person a job because of certain reasons same thing I said lol been seeing a lot of chunky news reporters lately
If they live in kings river they probably can afford a generator
But can they find one???

@@armandoledesma3699right should be prepared when you know it’s coming
People sure have a short memory. It was almost 2 weeks without power after Ike
ike was a category 4
doesn't matter. This So called Cat 1 did as much damage as Ike and I have not lived in Houston for years.
When we where Indians aztekz we didn't need not a.c 😅😅😂
It's hotter now than ever in Texas
Keep voting for Abbott.
Aint it 8 days? 1st day isnt till 24 hr after intial lights go out.
If you were in their position I'm sure you wouldn't be saying that.
So 1 doesn't equal 1 to you? I'm pretty sure it does to them.
@@debbiejohnson7758 I am and it's 8 days.
A smart person would go get a motel room.
They were all booked and most didnt have power either...crazy part people were having to go out of town to get them and they jacked rates up per night knowing people needed those rooms...smh!!!
