'I spent $300 to $400 in groceries the first time, and then we haven't had groceries ever since. We were blessed enough to get groceries yesterday, and we're back to no groceries again, ' the woman told ABC13.
Tiana Purifoy felt on top of the world, but heavy storms that blew through the area quickly dissolved that feeling. "It's super frustrating," she said.Earlier this year, she got herself and her son out of homelessness and moved into a home in the Tomball area. Despite her new job and house, power outages have been repeated financial strains.
"The power went out, and everything, the food, was damaged, and now here we are again," Purifoy said. The first outage lasted over 24 hours and resulted from a storm that came through the area two weeks ago. The outage meant the freshly stocked fridge was ruined."I spent $300 to $400 in groceries the first time, and then we haven't had groceries ever since. We were blessed enough to get groceries yesterday, and we're back to no groceries again today," she said on Thursday.
And now again, after more than 12 hours without power, a second set of several hundred dollars in groceries is wasted. "This is the stuff I was hoping to salvage, but if we don't get any more power," Purifoy said, showing ABC13 the inside of her freezer.WATCH: CenterPoint Energy customers is forced to throw away medicationABC13 contacted CenterPoint for comment on what is being done to prevent repeat outages.
