Just a reminder: Beryl hit Houston as a TROPICAL STORM not a hurricane.

Sorta makes it worse but by calling Beryl a CAT 1 hurricane when it was just a tropical storm helps CenterPoint excuse more of why they absolutely suck. How do you take the CEO's pay and give it to the linemen? I bet if you got rid of the CEO, nothing of value would be lost. They couldn't even get a city prepared for a tropical storm and lost more than a CAT 2 from 2008. Edit: Here are the recorded highest Wind Gusts, this is not sustained winds but the highest Gust reported Freeport, TX: 94 mph Brazoria County Airport (near Angleton): 85 mph Palacios Municipal Airport: 81 mph Houston Hobby International Airport: 76 mph Galveston’s Scholes International Airport: 75 mph Galveston Bay (near Port Bolivar, TX): 73 mph Spring, TX: 68 mph Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport: 67 mph submitted by [comments]
