I know this article is two days old, but man... I would be pissed if I was a Houstonian right now and heard about this. How the hell would a 'prayer' be of better assistance to the people than actual, legitimate supplies and manpower, including the assistance of power restoration experts? Unbelievable.

To be fair, I'm sure they have those same resources much closer to them than Quebec.
Also, I'm not sure what good it is to send line crews/substation crews (who may not even speak english well) across the continent to assist in a place they are not familiar with that probably has different standards than Quebec does. It would be a nightmare getting these guys where they need to be and up to speed on how things need to be done.
