Beryl

When you said y'all would have all our power on by Wednesday, you flat out lied.

Day six looks like it's fixin' to turn into day seven - what spin you going to weave next?

Don't make promises you can't keep...leave that to the loco politicians

Here's a tip don't give an interview with a thermostat right behind you either...

I know we cannot control Mother Nature as she is fickle.

Beryl was a beast that whipped winds like I have never heard nor seen from any Hurricane.

The mishandling of a bad situation well, y'all got room for improvement.

The "Be Someone" mural on I-45 is legend, and now there's a new kid in town

Well done.
