It’s unacceptable that the city of Houston is not prepared at all for emergencies. No gas, no electricity and no competency. & this was just a quick storm from a Cat 1
Exactly. I feel so bad for these people - this is completely unacceptable. This storm was predicted for DAYS in advance.
How hard is it to get gas? Totally deceptive!
@@TheJanet4321 Saw gas at Valero on Richmond and Jeanetta. I’m someone who follows the weather and it wasn’t known that the storm was coming to Houston until Friday maybe Saturday. People didn’t prepare as well as city and many people didn’t care. I got gas Sunday and wasnt a line in sight.
Why do you have to rely on the city for your survival? Do it yourself bub.
@@Lumpia_In_Texas it’s not unreasonable to expect service that we over pay for.
It’s true! Drove to maybe 5 different gas stations and a couple in Richmond. They’re completely out of gas, there were a few people trying to use the broken down gas pumps that have the bag covering them. One guy almost got into a fight at the station when the cashier said he forgot to put a no gas sign on the door.
People are becoming even more unhinged. Stay safe out there!..
People are out of control
Can gangbangers hold their gangster meetings without electricity?
poor person why did you not fill your car before the storm and several 5 gallon jugs like I did, just curious peasant why didn't you think ahead what was it you were doing that was so important
Typically idiots in Richmond that wait for the last minute to do anything
That really sucks our family here in Utah are sending our prayers to everyone out there impacted by this and pray that you had a better governor who could better prepare for these things like other states do
They are filling up those "gas cans" to fuel their generators.
They should do a report on some of these damn gas stations that are price gouging!!!
Went to a gas station and was trying to buy a foam cooler . 20$!! I left that shi on a random shelf attendant tried to tell me to put it where i found it. I told him he could either come and make me or f off
Houston is becoming worse than the tip of FL with all the chaos after storms
It will NEVER be that.
Naaaaaa Florida man will always get the attention
I've been living in Houston as I am now or around Houston my whole life and I can honestly say that when it comes to storm readiness there is not another city worse than here. If I fart to hard the power goes out in Harris county for days. Flooding happens even with small rain storms, everyone panic buys fuel and toilet paper depleting all stores and gas stations. CenterPoint is never ready for a disaster, but yet we pay enormous rates. We pay our lights to energy companies that are really just re-sellers who jack the prices up. Crime is ridiculous... Besides Mattress Mack there is not a single redeeming factor about this city.
Welcome to trash Houston 😂 , if you actually moved away from Houston like sugar land or Richmond , it’ll be better and not ghetto 😂
You're kidding right?
@@xtruthx And here we have a yapping boomer
What about Tray the Trut? He gives out trill burgers.
From our family here in Utah we send our prayers to everyone impacted by this and my heart just goes out to you guys for not having a governor who is prepared for these situations as they have been happening for a while and he should have been prepared
Why the Governor hasn't declared a state of Emergency ????
State of Emergency was issued over weekend and declared
He's racist and doesn't care about the citizens of Houston.
Last minute right before the hurricane hit nobody was prepared
I used to deliver gas to the stations. Unless tanker drivers are just not making it to work, or the loading racks at Exxon , shell , Lyndell /citgo and Chevron are down , I'm calling B.S on this. Reason? Have they given any explanation?
Increased demand for gas. 1, because a lot of people’s power is still out and they have gasoline generators and, 2, people are sitting in their car for AC and to charge their phone.
All by Design
Many gas stations are sitting on full tanks but have no power. So the few gas stations left have long lines and sell all their gasoline. On top of that people with gasoline generators are using 5 to 10 gallons *per day* .
@@WiIdbiII One reason I own LYB and VLO stock. Cha ching those dividends, that offsets my fuel bills.
Didn't Abbott promise to fix this ???
Abbott can't fix a hole in his sock!👶
Energy capital of the world running out of gas. Comical
Not the energy capital anymore bc of Biden 😢😢
@@inter5123 no, not running out, thats what all the people were doing out, running out to the gas station after the hurricane and overloading the stations. Saw many tankers refueling stations trying to keep up with the ones that think prepping is only for tin foil hat people. Any time a hurricane hits the Gulf, keep car(s) topped off and fill cans (please everyone, buy a generator….. doesnt have to be big, just something to keep the fridge cold and a portable ac on, everything else is gravy).
The gas will be used whether the hurricane hits or not…..so why not BEFORE the storms? (Goes for freezes too😉)
I got gas before the hurricane hit.
I got gas yesterday with no issues and a lot of gas stations are starting to open up so this is just the news making drama 😂.
Was in spring Texas yesterday, lines were down the road trying to get fuel.
Our energy infrastructure sucks. I'm burning through 25 gallons a day to run my house on a generator with my 2 daughters, 2 sons in laws, 2 grandbabys, 4 dogs, a cat and frustrated that our grid sucks ass. It'll be a week before we get power back. I am loving having family here but it's unacceptable infrastructure failure after failure. Grateful for the gene and family but we can do better. Gotta drive to Lufkin tomorrow to get gas.
is a natural gas generator better? (assuming you have gas service)
Keep voting red in Texas and this is what you get. Corporate biz in bed with the red party, not ever willing to spend money upgrading the grid. You get what you vote for.
FYI your gov is in Asia on Texas taxpayers dime. Enjoy the heat while you can.
25 gallons???! You have a very inefficient generator. Get you an inverter generator. I have a 4000 watt inverter generator that uses about 2 gallons every 12 hours and is extremely quiet.
Just enjoy your diversity. Isn’t it great?
First world problems...you will survive
If you can spend a day and a half driving around looking for gas, then you really don't have anyplace you have to be... right? People don't know how to stay home. If you have gas in your vehicle and don't need to be anywhere like work, stay home or close to home.
Hey dummy we need gas for generators
People have family members on oxygen, and other machines, gas for generators is difference between life and death. People fill up go home fill up generators, next day need more gas.
I was surprised that I was able to fill up almost immediately north of Houston. When I left, a huge line had formed. The lines were incredibly long at H‑E‑B too.
People are driving crazy out there. Don’t go out on the streets unless you have to.
My hurricane plan for New Orleans since Katrina....LEAVE!!
This isn’t hurricane’s problem anymore. It’s economy now 😢
All the new people who’ve moved to Texas, they overreact , panic and horde food tp gas and anything else
Exactly! They need to stay away. It’s already too crowded here. They are causing issues and raising our cost of living!
And what about the Doomsday people who just do it on a daily basis..
@@seriejohnson698 girl stfu we are talking about the transplants not the republicans..sit down somewhere
Shame to Texas especially Houston infrastructure
If you live in Texas and you're not prepped for hurricanes, then that's on you. There was plenty of notice to gas up early and get ready for power outages. All the shortages are due to the unprepared freaking out last minute during an emergency
Houston is a big ass city dumbass. Maybe most people are busy with life and bullshit in general. Not everyone is thinking up hurricane survival strategies you moron lol.
Yeah. I told my mom to get more gas and she blames me for pushing her to get gas. She ended up going to get gas 😅
Also electric needed to be able to use the pumps,power outages
Yeah but out there you guys have no regulations all the billionaires control the lights in the gas and everything else out there but you can guarantee they have everything they need while the people suffer because they have a governor who just can't seem to get it in control
Beryl was a category 1, just imagine when we get hit by a 4 or 5. Why is Houston so ill prepared?
Because we have idiots living here? Maybe
@@ddjjss Red politicians allowing Energy companies off the hook.
I'm a teenager living around Houston, and I believe the authorities should have known better after Hurricane Ike and Harvey.
This dude deleted my comments lmfao. I called his ass out for not being compassionate for his fellow houstonians. You should leave our city. You're garbage human
@@ddjjss stop deleting my comments for calling you out in your bullshit? Have some compassion for your fellow
IF WE WERE ISREAL THEY SEND US BILLIONS AND LOTS OF HELP
Or Ukraine
@@martybarra2007 yea everyone but us
Because they are taking their time restoring power so people are sitting in their cars for AC and to charge their phone. Common sense isn’t so common after all.
Storms knocks out power. Electric company refuses to be more prepared. Everyone buys generators. Everyone buys gas. Now there's no gas 😂
This is silly.
Because out there they got the billionaires in charge of your lights your power your gas and then you have a governor out there who sits on his ass all day and for some reason just can't seem to be prepared even though these key and he needed to keep happening to this state
Ted Cruz wants your vote!
It's the norm, welcome to Texas, economic backbone of the nation btw 🙄
249 and N houston Rosslyn rd area it's like 10 gas station with gas and electric and ice 🧊
Dang use to live there
Why didn't they pump gas before the storm?
We were full of gas and prepped and we have needed gas already. Generator running non stop and running around for various reasons.
You realize it’s been two days since the storm and people have been driving around right? You think their cars run on rainbows?
@@andrewsnyder9262
I can definitely understand that! I live in Louisiana and thought we were ok after a hurricane one time. We were prepared for a storm as well but we ran low on gas in the car, generator, and the extra gas we stored. We didn’t think it would take 2 or more days for power to be restored. We actually sat outside for a while and went to a restaurant to preserve our gas 😂.
They like to complaint. We have 3 cars, and they are full.
@moment-of-glory So you're telling me these responsible people were driving around burning a full tank of gas in one day while the roads and highways are flooded during a power outage after a hurricane and are now stuck with no gas?
A cat 1 hurricane by the way and this is only just the beginning. Quite concerning 😟
"Welcome to Houston" says it all, literally.
Well it looks like I'll have to walk to work :(
A day an a half looking for gas lol .. I would pull out my bike
Bro was riding around on dreams and wishes
Houston is cheap due to tiny brains
Gas prices spiking as these companies take advantage of people
Should of bought generators instead of crack!😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
You're ridiculous
Lot of generators run on gas tho
@@forlornhauntedghostelectric generatora!!
Trade it in for a horse and buggy
We don't all ride horses 😂😂
I said that too. Not then then increase the price of hay and feed
Where is Ted Cruz ???
Getting Federal Aid
@@actforclearlakegalveston4942 More like searching online for charter flights.
❤ to the people of Houston
"going from store to store trying to find this gas"
Relatable.
Almost every gas station in Clear Lake is open and has Gas
Stay home people, alot of you just be cruising so everyone can see your Camero before it gets repoed.🤔
🤣🤣🤣🤣👍👍👍👍🎯🎯🎯🎯
We have jobs to go to
It’s Camaro fool lol , and no one showing that off , it’s more of Mustang 😂
@@cormaro13 you mean Chargers 🤣🤣🤣
You must have seen a straight piped Camaro* zoom past you and got jealous.
I got my gas and lights. God bless
Me too. Glory to God.
so God just punishing the rest of us 😅. gtfo
@@god563616 For gas?
@@StradaleF430 it’s called being grateful.
@@StradaleF430Another hater
But the wind turbines!?!
WHERE IS FEMA??????🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 THOUGHT FEMA WOULD BE ACTIVATED…
We the People NEED to inform those REPRESENTING US The People that it's time to replace the power grid with an advanced form of power. One that doesn't require power lines or a grid! This source of power was suppose to be temporary not a permanent solution! Replace the POWER SOURCE!!!
As a Houstonian, I am appalled and angry that Houston is a millionaire city with no CLEAN WATER 😂😂😂!!
Bc of the D Bags like the one I ran into at the gas station, the day before the hurricane, filling up four canisters of gas. I can’t stand people.
West rd and 290 has gas Falcon III
As of 2:00am, "1,372,912" without power and "655,257" restored in the last 24 hours.
Tomorrow, that should be down to about 720,000 without power.
The workforce is triple the size of the Derecho workforce.
Most will have power back by Friday afternoon. The areas hit by the Derecho are recovering fast. Many trees fell in May so there was a lot less line damage in those areas. Don't let your trees grow to where they could bring down a power line. Keep them away from power lines.
Good Luck everyone.
1st rule of after a hurricane. The outskirts of a major city may have fuel, next is the travel plaza's, major truck stops. Head away from the storms past path n its found. So long as the power is still on
I'm in the outskirts and we have NO POWER... The gas stations are closed for lack of operational pumps, no street lights, no traffic lights, no police presence, and there are downed power lines and fallen trees EVERYWHERE... We're driving over them, and under them just to get food/water/batteries...
@kevinc865 I wish this was the case! I live on the outskirts, 30 mi north of Houston and there is no gas. I had to drive to Navasota for gas which is 70 mi from Houston.
Next hurricane to come im getting my ass out of Houston. Going on a damn early vacation to fucking Montana 😂
Another red bubba state.
@@wa210better than a useless failed blue state with poop ,needles ,tent and fecals all over the street ,try harder nxt time
Maybe you can travel with Cruz and Abbott?
@JustLikeHeaven77 @wa210 better than being a democratic. Look like sleepy joe finally has no media protection. TRUMP ALL DAY BABY
You really complain that someone is trying to avoid a hurricane. Wouldn’t you?
Move out of Houston
Then they up their prices up to 3.29 when it was $2.80 smh
This is absolutely ignorant! It's only been one day!!
Oh I'm sure they're Governor Abbott will find a way to blame Biden for him not being prepared and then go ask for a handout and then tell the people in Texas that he did it himself typical classic republican. Doing absolutely nothing to prepare the state or the people for these even though there's plenty of notice and yet hear the people suffer
My brother passed out and I threw up 4 times Wednesday because of the heat. My neighbor found gas in Katy but we're in North Houston 😢😢😢 with a broke down car 😢😢
Impossible! Gas never runs out in "The Oil Capital of the world".
Swift on mangum and 290 got gas
so Texit cessation is on hold while Fled cruz and abbott are out of state
...while Governor Abbott eats sushi.
I've learned through the years to fill up on gas before the storm. Thankfully, I'm normally off work when a storm comes, so I make sure not to drive anywhere to save gas. I stock up on enough non-perishable food items to last me and my family and a few others if needed for at least a couple of weeks or a little more. I start prepping for that weeks in advance with buying items needed here and there, just in case. GOD blessed me to be gifted with a generator that I use and allow friends and family to use if and when they need it. Through the years, I've bought a gas can here and there, so I fill those up as well. I learned all this from not being fully prepared years ago.
We had a two week head start, the slow, the shallow and new residence are in lines
That's what happens when half a million people need to prepare their gas generators for what will most likely be a week of no power
And how much you wanna bet that those that were caught off guard in 2021, got caught off guard again and will be caught off guard again in the future
Shut up. You're not special
The news already warned us about hurricane is coming, why didn’t people prepare, why wait until now and look for gas, foods…….?
Sams wholesale on West is closed, but was receiving delivery this evening, So when they open in the morning(7/10).
BS!!!Why Houston is not prepared for this!!! What the heck happens to our public officials? I HAVE A MEDICATION THAT NEEDS REFRIGERATION!!!Put the power back ASAP!!!
Baryl messed with texas
More hurricanes will to so what?
Everyone knew for days this hurricane was on its way. How could you not fill up your car(s) beforehand?
Texas bubbas. Dumb as rocks.
@@NDMatador I think it’s for the generators
Exactly! Eryone you see out there scrambling failed to properly plan!✌🏻🍻
@@angelamalekI keep 50 gals just for Cane season, both vehicles full and 3 weeks food and water. I was a dummy once and it sucked, never again…
Maybe they did. Do you have enough money to provide generators for everyone who can’t afford them and lives pay check to pay check?
Buccee’s Katy Open and Gas available
People filling up big containers were so dumb like they couldn’t and wouldn’t find gas later, a lot of people on the side of the road just selfish ass people
our local store got a refill and was empty the same night,...
lol I’ve seen one guy fill up his whole truck with about 20 gas containers. What do you need that much gas for? All gas containers are sold out at every store. People are just buying and filling this containers. There were probably millions of those containers sold and filled.
Generators. Gotta run that ac.
@@Bnguyen276 My old 24' Robalo CC held 175 gallons. I could have made some big money hawking my boats gas.
Where are those oil profits Texas?
What is that ringing noise in your vid? Get better mic, you can afford it.
Im seeing people fill up like 10 jerrycans at a time most likely for generators but it really is crazy
Homeboy seems mad passionate about the gas In houston
Good thing port of houston is nearby 😒
This isn’t news. This happens for every major hurricane
Except, this wasn't a major hurricane. Too many people in this area now straining the infrastructure to its breaking point... This is only going to get worse I fear. 😕
@@michaelshrader5139right
So when you do not have gas for generators which are needed due to city leaders incompetence and as well as center point incompetence and people start dying from the heat who do their families sue first.
All these people are going to be shocked that moved here in the years between Harvey. Thinking nothing happens here with hurricanes
That's not the first time that has ever happened when new Orleans get a hurricane we always run out of gas .that's not anything new.
You would think Abbott by now what have got it through his head that you should probably prepare for storms and things like this for your people instead of sitting around
@@Hippitidippityto be fair in Florida the same thing happens people get a lot of gas for generators.
Stay home.stop going around spending the little they have 😮
I had to “hawk tuah” just to get to work today. It’s ridiculous.
people with EVs are in a much worse situation if the power doesn't get restored quickly.
dude thats awesome to see air pumps at each gas pump tho, up here theres one in the lot if you are lucky and its usually got a bus or a truck in the way of it thats not even using it....make that a thing everywhere!
Thats embarrassing they are one of the states known to be oil and gas and for them to run out is embarrassing. Also they dont help in prices they are really close to refineries and they are expensive compared to other states it doesnt make sense. Gas companies are taking advantage of their own.
What!? Why is this happening!? How do you run out of gas!? This reminds me of the gas station running out when a hurricane happened back in 2005 but that was because everyone was trying to leave.
Cause people use it and when there’s no power there’s only limited gas station 🥴
Houston's nickname is H- Town. H is for Hell!
Might as well be hell town 😂😂😂

Next is the price gouging. 🫵🏼
Heck, that's been going on since Covid.
Inflation is just a word to hide the real truth.
As long as perps keep paying $15 for a medium Jimmy John's sub, inflation..i mean price gouging will continue.
One bright move one can do, is own stocks in companies that pay out hefty dividends for ripping people off. At least offsets "price gouging".
I own VLO and OKE stock in the energy sector and DUK for electric side. ETR would be another choice stock.
I didn't see any gas stations open in Spring
I saw a lot of them open yesterday but with lines going down the road in the area where 45 and 99 meet up. Not sure if they ran out but I think they did judging by the long lines
Yep and sadly i need power here to sell gas and this will he crazy for sure in this heat.
And those who drive EVs are in a worse situation. You can hoard gas but not electrical charge. There are LONGER lines at the few charging stations that have electric because many EV owners can't charge at home.
You know these entitled Houstonians think they can skip the line and traffic lights that are off 😅
I got gas yesterday and today inside the loop
This is ridiculous
Don't sleep on truck stops go to truck stops
What did it take you 3 hours to find a store that was out of gas in Houston the main depot for gas you're trying to scare Everybody Stop it
Houstonians are wasting gas looking for gas.😂😂😂
Where’s your Repuke leadership…let me guess on vacation some place nice and expensive. 😅
Trickle down effect.
Power stations down.
Gas plants down.
Gas stations out.
Stores will lose food etc cause trucks can’t get there etc.
