CenterPoint Energy has been working since July 8 to restore power to the more than 2,000,000 Houston area residents who lost power in the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl.As of Thursday, more than 98% of customers have had their power restored with only 18,838 customers still affected as of noon July 18. They are expecting full service back for all eligible customers by Friday, July 19.
In a Houston City Council meeting on Wednesday, Houstonians and city councilmembers alike expressed their frustration over the power company's response to the storm."We are known for being Houston strong, but I can tell you it feels like Houston's tired, Houston's frustrated. You can't say you are well prepared, and then you go a week without power from a Cat 1. What if it was a Cat 2? What if it was a Cat 3?," questioned Councilman Edward Pollard.
