Good evening, my fellow Houstonians. I hope you’re well into your preparations for soon-to-be Hurrican Beryl. Although the storm is expected to make landfall near Matagorda, Houston is expected to experience high winds and heavy rains. We can expect flooding in parts of the city and large-scale power outages.
The best advice from the experts is 1) Stay off the roads after 10 pm tonight, 2) Do not drive into high water, 3) If you are urged to evacuate (most Houstonians have not been), then please evacuate, 4) Clear your drains and re-clear them periodically to ensure maximum water flow, 5) Prepare for extended power outages by charging your devices now and by gathering lanterns and flashlights, and 6) Make sure you have adequate food to eat and water to drink (filling your bathtub with water provides a large supply of potable water). Also, please do not put your garbage and recycling bins out for pickup tomorrow. The Solid Waste Department will not be operating tomorrow.
