Hurricane Beryl: Road to Recovery
People seeking answers and still seeking power after CenterPoint Energy’s delayed response. Houston and surrounding areas…we have a problem!. When Winter Storm Uri hit the state of Texas in February 2021, it exposed the many inadequacies we have in the state relative to the separate electricity grid with the Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT).

Texans Should Know The Difference: Heat Exhaustion Vs. Heat Stoke
East Texas received a good bit of rain this spring, but now it's plain hot outside -- regardless of what storms we have gotten since the start of summer. In the absence of rain summer-like temperatures are here along with the humidity. Most of the time the heat is tolerable, but when you factor in the humidity, that's when it becomes uncomfortable in East Texas.
