Texans turn to a fast food app to track power outages after Hurricane Beryl.
One local found that the Whataburger app’s location map, which uses color to show if a store is open or closed, was surprisingly useful for tracking outages in Houston, where the state’s fragile energy grid succumbed to the category 1 storm and left millions without power.
Helpful, since at least one local energy provider’s outage map wasn’t functioning, as Austin-American Statesman writes.
