It is nearing 11pm and we have not had power since 2pm today. Centerpoint claims to be assessing the outage on its recording but according to an article I just read, centerpoint stated they would be assessing the outage at 6am 01/25/23. Which is it?
Pitiful! Who are you going to blame this one on. Sorry Abbott, Patrick, Cruz and Cornyn this is on you. Ask your residents and voters if they prefer backup support to your sorry excuse of an electric grid.
A few day of cold weather and the whole damn state shuts down. Pathetic and completely unexceptionable. And y'all talk bout conceding smmfh! Stop being cheap and upgrade the power grid!
