Beryl exposed how vulnerable the electric infrastructure is to failure, leaving residents angry and at risk.

Only a stray shower possible Sunday in San Antonio, but at least it’s not as hot as it was this time last year!Electric trucks line up to provide support with major power outages after Hurricane Beryl in Houston on July 10, 2024.. The 55-year-old lineman packs his clothes. Maybe he spends a little more time with his two adult sons before leaving. “Go make that money,” his wife will say. He drives away from his hometown of Evansville, Indiana, in his bucket truck.

Trice liked electrical work since he was a kid. His uncle was an electrician and sometimes took him along as he worked in homes. He started as a groundman, memorizing the tools so he could pass them to linemen. He learned to climb poles and went through an apprenticeship program that taught him how to handle dangerous wires.

“We’re in storm mode, and we just keep going,” Trice said. “You get in that hotel, you take a shower and you pass out, and your alarm clock wakes you up, and you get back up and go.” Power has been restored to 1.8 million CenterPoint customers since the hurricane hit but some 450,000 still lacked power as of Sunday morning, according to the utility.
