In the wake of Hurricane Beryl, prolonged power outages in Houston have led to at least 23 heat-related deaths, with many residents still struggling to recover. Janet Jarrett's sister, Pamela, who relied on a wheelchair and a feeding tube, died due to the extreme heat after four days without power. The hurricane knocked out electricity to nearly 3 million homes, and CenterPoint Energy is under scrutiny for its slow response and inadequate vegetation management. Severe weather also caused significant outages in Philadelphia, leaving many, including elderly residents, without power for days. Recovery efforts are ongoing in both regions, highlighting the need for improved infrastructure and emergency preparedness.
