hi there, yes, hello. I am currently still without power 8 days after the storm hit. I am fortunate as I have a whole home generator. I had to install that after the 7th time of losing my very expensive diabetic medication/food/sanity from previous power failures. i hate it here so much but i can’t leave because we’re here to help my inlaws and they refuse to move. it is as bad as everyone thinks it is… it might actually be worse. thanks for an opportunity to vent. it’s been and continues to be quite the ordeal. And no, i haven’t attacked any linemen… i would make them cookies if they came to my neighborhood.

Have y’all tried to explain the cost/risk analysis of burying your damn power lines to your local or state authorities?
With how much Houston floods, I doubt that underground lines would be beneficial in the long run.
60% of their lines are already buried, it’s cost stopping the other 40%, the poor man’s tax on a government level.
