A Houston resident describes the hardships of enduring a week without power after a deadly storm ravaged the city.
Power has finally been restored to some Houston residents after a deadly storm left eight people dead and many without electricity a week ago. The severe weather tore through the Third Ward, among other areas, and left a trail of debris and destruction.FOX 26 spoke with a resident in the Third Ward who has endured sweltering heat without electricity. Among them was Rosslyn Williams, who lived without power and without the aid of a generator for a full week.
You’re sweating, sweating, sweating, sweating, and females have this thing that they go through so that even makes it worse. Your refrigerator freezes, your washer and dryer. You can’t use anything. I bought about 8 bags of ice trying to keep stuff cool, but you know that stuff melts quick," said Williams.
