In Falcon Point (Katy). 77494

No power and no internet. With all the cell towers jammed up I can't get any info until I stopped by my mom's place. She's 5 minutes away and never lost powe


Hey neighbor, hope we get power back soon!


I'm over in The Grove. If you see a 5-9 guy walking a huge Great Dane, that's me

No power here in Cypress at vicinity of Goodson Middle School


No change for my neighborhood in Cypress... even if they do get it restored, our transformer at the end of our street blew at 7AM, so I think we've got 2-3 layers of fixes until our house is restored...

Still nothing in Spring (77386)

I was just about to check 77386. My mom lives off Rayford and is trying to decide whether to stay with us in Austin a few more days or head back home. Sounds like she needs to extend her stay.
She should probably stay. I am just down from Rayford on 99. We still have no power and saying it could be days. I may bug out of here with 2 pups tomorrow if it stays that way. I never lost internet and keep it on a couple of battery backups just for internet/wifi, since my phone is basically useless inside the house without wi-fi calling.

The grocery stores and gas stations on along 99 in my area were all back up and running but most of the other stores are not.

That was us during the decherigerio. Power came up, transformer blew and only my.block was out for the next 3 days. That sucked.

Yeah, the transformer light show was not real promising for quick restoration.

Think I'll give it another night and then head out of town if it's not back on. I don't have the same tolerance for heat or bourbon that I had when Ike hit.

SIAP but why did Centerpoint do away with the outage map and address search? We moved away but I'd like to check on my MIL's power status without bugging her or draining her phone battery.

Power still out at my rental in 77573. Anyone else in South shore without power and hear anything?
We just got our power back on in Harbour Park. Not sure if that affects South Shore as well.

Probably couldn't afford to upgrade their server for the number of hits / traffic it generated... and probably triggered a lot of angry phone calls from people demanding to know why their neighbors had power but they didn't...

I know they have a hard, thankless job… but they're terrible at it.


Our customer crews from New Jersey left Saturday morning to Texas.


Thanks, that's good info. I'll take all the help we can get, but Jersey seems like a long way to pull from. Were the boys in Alaska busy? I kid, I kid.

It was tough finding an available hotel room in CS. All hotels are full of linemen and their trucks.

This. I deal in data and data alone doesn't explain an entire operating picture. Decisions are probably.made based on least amount of $$ to restore greatest number of people first. And the supply system is not something most understand

I would have her stay there, too. I drove Rayford from Birnham Woods to 45, and it was dark as far as the eye can see until 45/Sawdust, with the exception of a strip along 99. That's a lot of folks in the dark.

Dora literally stated in her press conference that Centerpoint was staging ahead of time so it would be better than the May response. Probably still buzzed from her vacation I guess.

She also said they were releasing water from reservoirs in case it rains more. Who cares if bayous are over banks and no one can drive on roads.

Power back on in 77316 (Woodforest). Just in time for us to get settled in with the four gremlins 5 and under at the JW in San Antonio. I'm probably heading East first thing tomorrow if I can get a break in work calls

CenterPoint Restoration Update:

This afternoon CenterPoint Energy mobilized its internal and mutual assistance crews to begin the restoration process to the total 2.265 million customers that lost power during Hurricane Beryl today. Based on current progress with damage assessment and initial restoration, we now expect to have 1 million impacted customers restored by the end of the day on Wednesday, July 10. CenterPoint Energy remains committed to working around-the-clock to restore service as safely and quickly as possible and has mobilized nearly 12,000 field resources to support our restoration efforts, continuing to prioritize essential facilities critical to health and public safety. We will provide updates as they become available. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.


I am part of the problem and you're the victim...

I've got a half finished apartment in SETX you can stay in. At least it has a window unit and an air mattress. Better than no AC and it's free.

This makes sense now. I thought it was odd I didn't see a single centerpoint truck out on the road today for a 10-15 mile radius. Our area didn't have much damage either.


Saw about 50 trucks at Bass Pro shop at Katy Mills and then another 20 utility trucks at a hotel in Columbus. This was about 8pm so not sure why those weren't mobilized sooner

A Cold shower felt surprisingly good. I feel clean and alive with the funk off. For now.

My hair probably won't dry for a couple days, but oh well. Looking forward to another sleepless night.

Man I feel this. This is what I was expecting based on history of when my hood gets restored. We're usually 5-6 days out.

Now that we got super lucky I've got to get my **** square, I thought I was ready and I wasn't.

I was also supposed to start a new job today. Now it's Wednesday.

2.5 million without power in the area after a Cat 1.

This is concerning going forward. Especially after Derecho.

I know there are a lot of so called "libertarians" on this thread but this is unacceptable.

The State of Texas continues to fail on a reliable power grid and affordable energy
