Huffman residents call Entergy's repairs of destroyed power equipment 'shoddy' and 'dangerous'

It's been three weeks since Beryl hit, and recovery still feels a long way off in River Terrace in Huffman.

Residents there are concerned about what they call "shoddy" repairs of destroyed power equipment.

They get their electricity from Entergy, a company that serves areas north and east of Houston, that generally has gotten more positive feedback than CenterPoint for its storm response from both residents and elected officials.

The power pole repairs don't exactly inspire confidence.

"That looks pretty hokey to me. I mean, they jammed in a piece of wood and put some spray foam in there," Burney Garland said.

"It looks like that one is going to lean. It could fall so easily on his house," his wife Cheryl Garland Wall added.

After hearing from neighbors, ABC13 sent photos to Entergy officials on Friday evening.

On Monday afternoon, a spokesperson responded to ABC13, saying a network foreman inspected the area Monday morning.

The spokesperson said crews are scheduled to straighten the pole and clean up the site sometime this week.

Residents hope the pole doesn't fall before crews make it back.

"It seems like they put the least amount of money into repairing things. Then, when disaster strikes, they're like, 'Oh wow, what happened?' No, I don't trust them," Burney said.
