Hurricane Beryl Leaves Texas in Crisis

In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, millions of Texas residents, particularly in Houston, remain without power, leading to widespread frustration and dangerous conditions due to extreme heat. CenterPoint Energy, the main power provider, has struggled to restore electricity, with nearly 1.4 million customers still in the dark and no clear timeline for full restoration. The storm's impact has been likened to a 'warzone,' causing significant damage and prompting residents to seek alternative means to track outages, such as using the Whataburger app. City officials and residents have criticized CenterPoint's preparedness and response, highlighting long-standing issues with the power grid's resilience to severe weather. Efforts to clean up and restore services are ongoing, with local governments mobilizing resources to address the extensive damage and debris. The situation has prompted calls for a review and overhaul of infrastructure to better withstand future storms.
