AP: Repair crews face threats in Houston by those still without power a week after Beryl
"Drawn guns. Thrown rocks. Threatening messages. Houston's prolonged outages following Hurricane Beryl has some fed-up and frustrated residents taking out their anger on repair workers who are trying to restore power across the city.
The threats and confrontations have prompted police escorts, charges in at least two cases, and pleas from authorities and local officials to leave the linemen alone so they can work."
