As the Houston area works to clean up and restore power to thousands after deadly storms that left at least seven people dead, it will do so Saturday under a smog warning and as all of southern Texas starts to feel the heat.
Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez said three people died during the storm, including an 85-year-old woman whose home caught fire after being struck by lightning and a 60-year-old man who had tried to use his vehicle to power his oxygen tank.
Where’s Governor wheel chair in this mess? How about no federal funds for Texas and Florida since they don’t believe in climate change
Texas reaps what Texas sows. I don’t think anyone is surprised by these types of stories coming out of that region anymore. What a shithole
Was this a sudden / instant hurricane?
