AND YOU’LL BE NOTIFIED WHEN OF NEW UPDATES. 4:20 pm Hurricane Berly left behind a path of destruction in its wake, widely in wind and rain damage, but with many localized flooded areas too. What recourse do many home and business owners have to be compensated for their losses? We turn to experienced insurance agent Ronnie Patel for answers. 4:50 pm The long loss of power due to the damage perpetuated by Hurricane Beryl has left many people fuming at the lack of response and preparedness by the electric utility CenterPoint Energy. Many businesses are pursuing legal recourse against CenterPoint for damages from loss of food to loss of business and even the loss of lives. Does any of this legal action claim merit? We turn to Harris County Assistant District Attorney Nathan Beedle for clarifications. 5:20 pm Not only did Hurricane Beryl knock out electricity for 2.3 million people, it also took down cell and internet service for most. What caused this cascading effect and why did some people have cellular internet but keep losing talk signal yet be able to send text messages? We ask IT guru Chetan Amin to educate us on the differences. 5:40 pm Houston lost a beloved stalwart of the Democratic party, Congresswoman Sheila Jackson-Lee, who passed away yesterday, July 19 to pancreatic cancer. In her 28 years in Congress, she was a strong and persistent voice for fairness for the common rights of the underclass and a champion of civil rights. We turn to her friend of many years and currently Honorary Consul of Guyana, Lutfi Hassan, and her other good friends Congressman Al Green and Harris County Commissioner Rodney Ellis for remembrances of her achievements for her hometown. Also stay tuned in for news roundup, views, sports and movie reviews.
