Houston Prepares for the Worst as Hurricane Season Approaches
Increased Flooding Events and Recent Devastation Demand Preparation
For Greater Houston, hurricane season is an especially stressful time. Since 2014, the area has witnessed seven major flooding events that have left a lasting impact. The most recent, Tropical Storm Beryl, ripped through the heart of Houston on Monday, July 8th, 2024, turning roads into rivers and leaving behind a trail of destruction.
