Houston's Hurricane Beryl death toll climbs, official numbers pending 

🙏🏽😞

That’s crazy that’s the zip code I’m at and I have lights

I hope she had lights 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Are you following politics at all? I'd recommend you to vote in Texas

get storm proof solar panels that are enough to run an AC in the summer, when you have a power outage. texas has more than enough sun...

Ive seen some go months without power

I’m so sorry, that is awful! Is there any way as individuals out of state can help you and others like you?

Yes we need help

@@sheilahill3876 how? Can we donate to Red Cross? Are they helping out there?

😮

😞😞😞🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

this person has multiple chronic diseases and dementia on top of that. before you are in someone elses shoes it is easy to pass judgement. people have their daily work and taking off time to move to another place and providing sufficient 24 hour care for a dementia patient is tough. the space needs to be safe - e.g. no stepping hazards etc. not so easy - plus her relatives want to visit her regularly and have their own problem after the hurricane.

@@checkanr138 I never said having a disease and illness was easy to live with. My point is!!! Prepare best you can, let your family help you, family should stop being weak and demand what needs to be in place, old folks become senseless that’s why they need power of attorney. Once you reach a certain age normal decisions are complicated. Many options take heed. I know my 6 closest neighbors

It's hard for me to believe that all those folks could have had her moved to their air conditioned residences and yet chose to leave her in the heat. My guess is that they're all dealing with power issues, so it would make no sense to move her from one hot house to another. Plus it looks like she was in hospice care and bedridden. You don't go picking those folks up and putting them in any old car to drive across town. She would have to be transported by someone with the training to do that. Let's consider all scenarios before we start "attacking" the family.

Dying from the heat. Not the storm directly but from the heat. You must not live in Texas. Bless your heart

It wss a category 1 wen it hit and flooding n heat extremely heat without power that's sad for family I keep them in prayers

This ain’t the place for u to spew about how reliant we are on ac This is about a person passing away Nobody cares how “woke u r” Shame on u

Beryl had 120 mile an hrs wind gusts and IKE had 114 mile an hour winds with 140 mile an hr gusts

the problem is not the winds but the flooding because the hurricane brought extensive masses of water in the form of rain with it.

Those battery fans simply aren't enough. I had 3 and still became incredibly ill from heat. Sure it's better than nothing but would certainly not keep you from death

Some of these seniors refuse to leave 😒 😮😢😢

But I saw light in the refrigerator when they opened the door! They had some kind of generator! They don't all live in that house, couldn't one of them take her to their house just to keep her safe?

Oh, you have no idea.. Almost 3 million Houstonians were without power at once. Generators were not $300, more like $900 & THOSE were selling out in 12 minutes, like every shipment that came in. The hotels that DID have power were all occupied for weeks.. So until you’ve experienced nowhere to turn, kindly move on & keep your cold comments to yourself. ☮️
