The #(provider name)sucks tweets on twitter in South Florida and South Texas have essentially stopped. I assume this means that providers have repaired almost all Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma damage.
In an area touched by freezing rain, homes are not damaged and people expect services back within hours and issue "#provider sucks" tweets if they don't. But in an area where homes are rendered uninhabitable, it takes a while before residents can return to their address (either new or repaired home) and then ask for services to be restored. The advantage of this is this is more of a staggered restauration process so less load on utilities who have more time to repair the shared infrastructure before dealing with individual homes.
