Tens of thousands of residents in Fort Bend County remain without power on Thursday, three days after Beryl caused widespread power outages across the Houston area.

"Everyone is working hard. We're out there 24/7, law enforcement, the OEM, EMS and CenterPoint workers. You have to realize CenterPoint called people outside of the state to come in to help with this emergency," Sheriff Fagan said. "We will not tolerate them being abused, let alone having a gun pulled on them."
