Newsrooms, I am begging you to stop letting Houston Mayor @whitmire_john lie to the public. Stop circulating clips like this one below where he is lying, unless you are also factchecking him, which the Houston Chronicle did very well here:

watching TX senate final debate on the redistricting map (after watching many hours of house & senate debates) i can't stress enough how insane it feels that republicans claim to know nothing about the map but also won't bring the map drawer to the capitol to answer any questions

#Houma #Louisiana Not even Recovered from #HurricaneIda from 3 Years Ago people still in Fema Trailers just got Devastated again by #HurricaneFrancine
Damn sure didn’t feel like a Category 1 or a Category 2

[National Hurricane Center @NHC_Atlantic]

12PM CDT Position Update: Rainbands from #Francine continue to move onshore and spread inland into southern Louisiana. Tropical-storm-force winds are just
offshore, and conditions will continue to deteriorate throughout the afternoon. Ensure you are in a safe location before the onset of these strong winds or possible flooding, and have multiple ways to receive warnings. For the latest visit https://t.co/Wq6ZtKgfeH

She’s really doubling down on that “most lethal fighting force” line.

I’m sorry. That authoritarian, violent saber swinging is completely disqualifying for me. What a savage and unhinged thing to choose to repeat.

doing work things after houston's power infrastructure crumbled in a cat 1 hurricane and then there was an assassination attempt

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

Hurricane Ike was a Category 2, very nearly a 3. Hurricane Beryl was a Category 1. There's a *massive* difference.

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

The outages in Houston should put a sharper focus and a higher priority on a solution that solves multiple problems: microgrids. #txlege #txenergy

[Texas Tribune @TexasTribune]

CenterPoint Energy estimates that hundreds of thousands of customers will remain without power into next week.

As of 2:30 p.m. Friday, roughly 860,000 households and businesses it serves lacked electricity. https://t.co/8tD4qloOTO

[Doug Lewin @douglewinenergy]

DERs & microgrids aren’t a panacea; there is no panacea for the grid. But they’re among the only solutions that address nearly all of the state’s energy challenges simultaneously. They’re also languishing far down policymakers’ priority list. #txlege

Houston is Houstoning again with White Oak Bayou all the way out of her banks. @mattlanza

[Jen Rice @jen_rice_]

houston facing a heat advisory immediately after a hurricane really exposes a growing fault line here: people who have access to a generator and people who don't

[KPRC 2 Houston @KPRC2]

Approximately 11,500 workers mobilized to restore power to over 2 million in Houston area after Beryl

Downtown Houston this afternoon. Buffalo Bayou peaked at 29 ft. That’s 26 ft above normal, but also not an unusual flood. We’ve hit this mark 5 times in 25 years. At this level there is minimal building damage in Downtown. This is what bayous naturally do— we need to plan for it.
