HOUSTON (AP) — Drawn guns. Thrown rocks. Threatening messages. Houston’s prolonged outages following Hurricane Beryl has some fed-up and frustrated residents taking out their anger on repair workers who are trying to restore power across the city. The threats and confrontations have prompted police escorts, charges in at least two cases, and pleas from authorities and local officials to leave the linemen alone so they can work.

In the Houston area, some have been due to heat exposure following the loss of power, according to the medical examiner’s office in Harris County. As of Tuesday, crews were still working to restore power to some residents.
