 A major utility company serving the city of Houston is coming under increasing fire over its response to Hurricane Beryl. After knocking out power to millions early Monday, an estimated 1.4 million homes and businesses are still without electricity as of today. A corporate official at Centerpoint Energies defended the company's response. It comes at an especially dangerous time with the National Weather Service issuing a heat advisory and describing conditions as potentially dangerous given the lack of power and air conditioning.
