    I live in Houston now, but I am originally from Norway. in Norway they would cut all trees and vegetation close to power lines continuously to avoid these outcomes after storms. I have noticed that this is not done here and a lot of what is happening here in Houston is because of bad infrastructure and bad contractors who do not build stuff to last.

      I wish they would do that because this happens every single time we have a bad storm like this where the tree limbs fall on the lines and causes massive outages

    Centerpoint has failed us for the last 10 years or longer. I question was Enron this corrupt ? Seems Centerpoint has stolen more money than anyone raising rates and charging recovery fees and haven’t fixed or improved anything same issues each year.
