That said, I’d expect to be able to see this effect on the outage maps and I don’t.
- gregw2 2y agoTrue, but it doesn’t seem that’s the issue. 60% of lines are buried but it’s mostly the newer developments paid for by the land developers: https://houstonlanding.org/to-bury-or-not-to-bury-how-can-centerpoint-best-prepare-power-lines-for-major-storms/ https://houstonlanding.org/to-bury-or-not-to-bury-how-can-ce... That said, I’d expect to be able to see this effect on the outage maps and I don’t, at least from an eyeball perspective.
