Granted it’s just after 🌀 Beryl —

but there are many unhappy redditors right now in r/houston (among 2 million without power) who’ve been dealing with a very old and dated power grid infrastructure for years.

Power often goes down even after random thunderstorms, much less hurricanes

UPDATE: Houston’s grid was built in the 1970s, and the local utility company CenterPoint hasn’t invested any smart grid updates to its infrastructure (redundant pathways, distributed automation, microgrids) like other hurricane-prone cities have (Miami)
