On Tuesday, Mayor John Whitmire took a helicopter ride to survey the damage in the city and then called a press conference to talk about the biggest danger ahead, which most people would agree is the lack of power.
And then there's the scarcity of traffic lights and the propensity for some predators to come out at night. As evidenced by media questions following the parade of speakers including Acting Governor Dan Patrick, the natives are restless. Many of those questions were lobbed at Brad Tutenjian, CenterPoint Energy's vice president of Electric Distribution Operations and Power Delivery who repeatedly said how hard they were working.
