  • Fallacies (95%)
    No formal fallacies were found in the article. There are a few instances of informal fallacies, specifically appeals to authority and inflammatory rhetoric. The author cites sources such as Entergy and CenterPoint for power outage information and urges residents to call 9-1-1 for emergencies, which is an appeal to authority. Additionally, phrases like 'high sustained winds over several hours' and 'numerous downed trees and debris throughout the community' are inflammatory rhetoric intended to emphasize the severity of the situation.
    • ] As soon as it is safe to do so, Entergy and CenterPoint crews will begin accessing damage and developing restoration plans. Do not call 9-1-1 to report a power outage. If you see a downed power line, assume it is energized and stay at least 35 feet away; never attempt to remove tree limbs or any object from power lines. Report any potential hazards immediately.
    • Call 713-207-2222 to report a down power line to CenterPoint. Call 800-968-8243 to report a down power line to Entergy.
