I’m pretty sure that transmission towers are rated for WAY higher wind loads than occurred in this storm. This begs an important question about inspection and maintenance.

1. Got electricity back 🥳
2. Towers, that was my thought especially with all the hurricanes Houston has experienced and I don’t remember any towers going down over 45 years here…. 🤔
