Frustration with power company mounts as Texans face weeklong outage after Hurricane Beryl

More than a week after Hurricane Beryl made landfall, utility crews across Houston are still working to restore power to the last 50,000 customers who have been without electricity through a stretch of hot weather. Some residents and politicians say they've had enough and their frustration is directed at CenterPoint Energy. William Brangham discussed more with Dug Begley of the Houston Chronicle.
