Power was restored to a northeast Houston apartment complex Thursday.
Almost 200 apartment residents were left without power after a transformer
blew.
The power had been out at the Settegast Village Heights apartments on North
Wayside since noon Wednesday.
Residents said a transformer blew out, leaving half of the complex without
power.
According to the residents, management isn't talking to them. They called
CenterPoint Energy, but they said the company said the problem is on the
complex's end.
A number of the residents are elderly and need electricity to run their
respirators or oxygen machines. One elderly woman was hospitalized.
Residents said their food and medicine is going bad.
The apartment complex did sent out an electrical contractor Wednesday evening
who did some work, but residents said it stopped after they heard another loud
boom.
