Residents in these neighborhoods filled with vulnerable populations are going almost a week without power and still asking when that will be fixed. 'We always last, and it's not fair,' a resident said.
ByCrews are still working to restore power to thousands, including the Kashmere Gardens where residents say the heat is becoming unberable.It's been nearly a week since a deadly storm knocked out power for about 1 million Houstonians. CenterPoint has reported restoration is nearly complete, but the heat is becoming unbearable for residents in some areas of Kashmere Gardens where lights are still out.
A CenterPoint crew told ABC13 they had hoped to restore lights in the area Wednesday, but now it's looking more like Thursday."At 72 years old, it's hard. Sometimes you don't know what you are going to do, you know?" Freddy Charles said. All they can do is keep cool in the car and hope CenterPoint gets to them soon. It is a less-than-ideal situation for Katherine Charles and her declining health.Geraldine Labbe lives not too far from the Charles'. Without working AC, she's forced to stay with her daughter.Labbe's house is on the corner of Majestic and Cavalcade."I just don't want CenterPoint to come see about mom.
