ABC13 separates CenterPoint fact from fiction post-Beryl
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 лип 2024
- What's real and what's not? That's what ABC13 is breaking down amid the frustration felt with CenterPoint Energy's steady power restorations after Beryl.
I guarantee you if Marvin Z were still alive, he'd have ripped Centerpointless a new one!
Channel 13 abandoned it's commitment to "caring about the little guy" years ago. That reporter probably doesn't even know who Marvin Zindler was or what Action 13 used to do for people on a daily basis. To think that KTRK used to respond every single one of the more than 100,000 requests for help each year, and now airs so few Action 13 stories in any given month that you could count them all on one hand and still have fingers leftover, shows how fall the station has fallen. Not to mention that they've desecrated the legacy of Marvin by using the Action 13 name for pointless filler stories like "Cleaning Hacks".
good golf, good tennis, or whatever makes you happy
@@John-bs5ug Bravo on your comment.
MZ would have gotten to the bottom of this situation for sure. He was not a shill.
@@BlackFemaleAnd50 Why, thank you. I know what this station used to be capable of. So to see how far it's gone in the opposite direction is heartbreaking. 13 Undercover and Action 13 were what made Eyewitness News Eyewitness News. Now they don't have either, don't even use their own radar anymore (Live MegaDoppler), and frankly just don't seem to care too much about anything. Last year, they ran a joke of an "investigation" into how it's cooler in the shade than in the sun. There were two people living in a home without A/C who the station used in that story, but didn't even bother trying to help them. Marvin would have gotten someone to donate window A/C units and/or fix the HVAC, if they had one. Like I said, they just don't seem to care anymore.
…and remember, THIS WAS ONLY A CATEGORY 1 STORM!!!
If centerpoint is telling you, you are being lied to!
Typical stupid conspiracy nutjob to write this.
You’re probably upset you can’t attack CenterPoint workers and rob them without going to jail.
Wrong. This is true.
Absolutely right.
Strangely we don’t see many Centerpoint trucks or workers doing any repairs. These contractors are not qualified.
It's irritating to see them standing around looking lost. Just standing around or sitting inside of bucket trucks jacking with their cell phones.... waiting for it to start raining, so they can go back to the hotel.
Day 6 of no power and being hot as hell 😢
I’m sorry for you, I understand what it mean I went last tornado 6 days without power in the Heights and this hurricane i went another 6 days so 12 days in just a month and a half which is wild but th am god I got it today
Isn't it just weather?
Centerpointless
No water or no lights day 6 😔
Where are the fuel trucks from the last hurricane.
How about some videos of the alleged attacks on Centerpoint workers? I keep hearing about this, but no videos! Not in a hurry to see such things, but just find it a bit of a stretch to believe anyone would attack a bunch of linemen. Why? That makes no sense.
Also, the people who act as hall monitors and get on these threads telling everyone to calm down and behave need to realize that first world countries and major cities normally do not allow trees and vegetative overgrowth to go untrimmed to the point where a storm that was a most a Cat 1 hurricane disables power for millions for this long. When HL &P was the power company, they turned any extra revenue above expenses into infrastructure, repairs, vegetation control, upgrades, and so on. HL & P did not have a CEO making $7M a year with $37 M in options and shareholders to pay dividends to. We really need to examine whether privatizing power was a sane idea. Our bills are HUGE. We are not being served.
well said, thank you
Power comes on for 30 minutes then goes out. Power goes on for 5 minutes then goes out. Workers all leave I check the Power map and it says we should have Power the 16th????? The Power was just on now you're saying 3 more days?????
Centerpointle$$
You go out there and do the work yourself, then. If not, STFU.
My area has been assessed and CenterPoint sent me an email that it won’t be repaired until the 19th.
Y'all do realize that from just West of Beaumont to just East of Conroe and north to Shepherd and south to Roman Forest, the Entergy grid is about 50% out still today... right? It's not just Centerpoint customers who are suffering en'mass! But only Centerpoint seems to be making the news I'm noticing. In fact according to the Entergy outage map Roman Forest is completely out, and between the 59 and 45 corridors about half the Entergy grid is still down. Just saying... this is what happens during a mid-summer Texas hurricane and why weren't more people prepared for this massive power disruption anyway????
This is not the Crew's fault. They can only do whatever orders are passed down by the higher-ups. Stop blaming Hidalgo,and it was pretend Gov., Patrick that dropped the ball on signing the initial paperwork.
The bottom line is that Center Point is responsible for repairs, period!
Be patient
troll
It’s definitely a bad leadership thing tho. We’re the 2nd largest economy in the largest economy in the world. With huge cuts for mega corporations. The fact we’re still using 1940/50 infrastructure is straight up ghetto don’t let our leaders off for not doing there job. From state to local, dem or rep, maybe the mayor gets a pass but only bcs he’s new new.
More lies from center point. No surprise here.
Then why were the same contractors outside our residence for 4hrs awaiting authorization from CP to do the work, never got ahold of somebody and finally drove away! We are going on day 7 beyond that 4th day, our "nested" situation was a simple remedy since we are isolated from other "nests"!!
Lies , At Wallmart 1960 the crews park from the morning until 3 pm, on Louetta Rd Tennessee crews park for 5 hours..
Maybe that’s their time off… are they in the trucks?
@@LRdz126 right they chose to sit in thier trucks in a parking lot instead of eating dinner in bed
Cap
Go do the work yourself then or STFU.
Distractions from the truth!!
In Stafford tx almost 9 days with out power ❤❤❤sending prayers ❤❤❤
let stop working let see how they fix the power back
Sponsored by CenterPoint... LOL
Why return to staging lots for breaks?,...i dont believe that.
According to the Center point mouthpiece a few days ago their workers are putting in 16-hour shifts, yet around 6 p.m. every day those shifts end and the trucks form their little convoys to go back. How cruel for them to be heading out on the job every midnight. Perhaps that explains why they are not seen _at all_ in some areas.
Perhaps the blue-shirted apologist needs to walk around in those areas and report on them.
Now maybe we can blame Law Enforcement for not protecting the Linemen.
Well guess they better get to work !
I just got power but I also work at a restaurant and I had several customers 😂 telling me that their power went away again after the mild storm that we just had
Sounds like one of those lawless cities you keep hearing about.
Center point is not only reliable, but they are a liar and making things up. What they need to do is a better job and management stop putting all the money in your pocket
You need to leave Houston or STFU. You’re probably some BLM anarchist who hates America and wants to live in a 3rd World country. Well GTHO, then. If not, STFU.
Coverfire for the WORST utility company in the country. Do better
Their maps are full of bs and their projections are designed to get people to stop asking questions. My area was supposed to have power yesterday according to the map. No one has power in my area. Is that a part of the "restored power count"?
I've lived in several cities in my life and I have never seen anything like this it is an affront to civilized society. A low end cat 1 in an area that gets weather events constantly.
As soon as I heard union, I was amazed that any work has been done.
Good work! Giving us the facts!
Isn't that how MAGAs respond to everything?
THANK YOU to ALL of the people who are working hard in the same heat ya'll are complaining about.
Unless you are going to go out & give the workers some water, watermelon, or food to help them, leave them all alone. A smile & a wave might even be appreciated.
This storm was a hard ride.
We sure felt it & suffered damage.
I pray that all power be restored asap. Be safe 🙏
I bet you have power huh ?
They are making a lot money to work in those conditions.
@@Emotionalsavage281 LMAO yea she is freezing in a/c laughing with her donuts n cake talking crap to honest complainers while you are frying
girls can't fly sr71's
@SR71GIRL CP shill
Cover story for they won'r pay overtime
Staging areas 😂😂😂never in my life 😞
This is a joke 🤣😭🤣🤣😭🤣
Capitalism!
Please, it's Centerpoint fault they were not even staged. If they were I could agree with some of you.
You wanted them staged so their equipment would all be destroyed during the hurricane?
You’re a bright one - NOT.
STFU.
Are you Texans are just jealous that you’re not making money handover fist like the owners of Centerpoint😂
If the media would stop sensationalizing everything, people would not be freaking out. It takes time to get lines back on to 2million customers. Please chill and wait. There are so many other circumstances as to why it's taking do long. I've not had power since Monday and still as i write this do not have power. It's hot and miserable. But I'm certain everyone is working hard. Please stop blaming the power company and let them do their job.
The first rational comment on this thread. Thank you.
Right? It took 2 1/2 weeks for everyone to get their power back during Ike.
That's the problem Centerpoint has way to many customers under them. But they got a monopoly on the energy here. Need to divide up the customers to other companies so everyone can get power back at least within 3 days
This shouldn't be a first world problem. People should be more outraged. People should not grow to expect this kind of crap from their government and regulated utility.
It is a baseline level of disrespect for constituents that got us here.
It’s definitely a bad leadership thing tho. We’re the 2nd largest economy in the largest economy in the world. With huge cuts for mega corporations. The fact we’re still using 1940/50 infrastructure is straight up ghetto don’t let our leaders off for not doing there job. From state to local, maybe the mayor gets a pass but only bcs he’s new new.
It’s not CenterPoints fault it’s Lina Hidalgo’s fault. Plus we have names for hurricanes for a reason since we’re all just human. So if anything hate Beryl.
How is it her fault
LT governor Dan Patrick asked her multiple times if Houston needed any assistance and she replied over text saying “WERE GOOD”
@@mansagarus9226 During a press conference on Thursday, Patrick said they reached out to Judge Hidalgo several times over the past week. “Tuesday we asked her if she needed anything. 'We're good'. We have not had one request from the county judge of Harris County,” Patrick said.
@@razorlax27 yeah so its the dolts fault
@@razorlax27 That doesn’t make any type of sense. If you used your brain cells you know basic civics, the governor just request and accept aid from the federal government which he hasn’t done. Biden has stated that numerous times and others have backed it up.
