Beryl Recovery Going Slowly

CenterPoint Energy, the electricity provider for much of Houston, said Thursday that half a million homes and businesses could be without power until next week.

The delay is stoking frustration about the utility company’s preparedness for Hurricane Beryl. A resident in Fort Bend County reportedly pulled a gun on one of the company’s workers.

The outages have taken many water treatment facilities offline, prompting officials to issue 160 boil water notices in eight counties in Southeast Texas. On Monday, around 154,000 gallons of wastewater were released from a Houston plant.

In addition, more than a quarter of the traffic signals in Houston aren’t working, creating havoc at busy intersections. According to initial estimates, the storm caused about $30 billion in damages.

Shelley Duvall, ‘The Shining’ Star, Dies at 75

Shelley Duvall, the versatile actress born in Fort Worth known for her roles in Robert Altman films and “The Shining,” has died at 75 from diabetes complications in her home in Blanco, Texas.

Known for her large, expressive eyes and unique presence, Duvall starred in seven Altman films, including “McCabe & Mrs. Miller” and “Popeye.” Here is her life in photos.

Duvall later produced Emmy-nominated children’s programming before retreating from Hollywood in the mid-1990s back to Texas.

In Blanco, where she was known to drive a Toyota 4Runner and enjoy cherry scones, locals perceived her as a beloved eccentric aunt and were protective towards her.
