Thursday afternoon, CenterPoint tweeted a message to customers, telling them that the storm may have damaged their weatherhead. They said if it’s damaged, you’ll need to get in touch with a qualified electrician to fix it before power can be restored.
What is a weatherhead?
According to CenterPoint, the weatherhead is the capped pipe that connects the service drop to the meter box.
