This is the best summary I could come up with:
Want to find a working gas station, a place to eat or someplace with air-conditioning in East Texas after Hurricane Beryl knocked out power to millions on Monday?
Users on Houston-area Facebook pages and group chats have suggested checking Whataburger’s online map to see which locations of the homegrown fast-food chain are open.
“You shouldn’t have to resort to a fast-food restaurant app to get information about power,” said Michelle Thibodeaux, who manages Airbnb properties on Galveston Island south of Houston.
The utility said that its outage map was offline because of technical issues stemming from the May storm that brought destructive winds and heavy rain to Houston.
Whataburger restaurants are typically open 24 hours a day, and the 164 branches in the Houston area are represented on the chain’s map by an orange-and-white W that’s familiar all across the South.
Houston’s Office of Emergency Management is “aware of the viral image” of Whataburger’s map being shared, said Brent Taylor, a spokesman, but the agency is not using it to make operational decisions.
