Murals by Mark Rothko / hurricane

In August 2024, it was announced that three paintings by Mark Rothko were damaged by rain water while on view at the Rothko Chapel in Houston, TX. The non-denominational sanctuary, which features 14 murals by Rothko, had sustained extensive damage in the previous months' Hurricane Beryl, with leaks in the structure's roof leading to widespread water damage that reached several of Rothko's canvases.

While the paintings' conditions are still being assessed, the Rothko Chapel was closed indefinitely ahead of future repairs and restoration.

I don't want to hear about how challenging it has been to restore power, y'all. I've got a curtain of ivy growing on the power lines in my back yard and a tree with branches growing 360 degrees around a power pole. The tree is not on my property, unfortunately, or I'd take care of it myself. The neighbor reported it to Centerpoint (before Beryl was even forming) and they refused to cut it back.

I'm not mad at the workers out here busting ass to get us back to normal. I'll buy them water, beer, lunch, whatever gets them through their shift.

I'm mad at the baboons running the logistics of this company. Yeah. The storm damage was bad. It was bad because Centerpoint refused to do basic maintenance. Out of the power distribution companies in Houston, they were second to last in how much they spent to clear vegetation off the lines.

Can't wait to get my next bill from them and tell them my payment date is pending review.

Damage report of USS Houston (CL-81) from the two torpedo hits on October 14 and 16, 1944, off of Formaso (present day Taiwan).

The first torpedo hit at midships and caused enough flooding to cause the order to remove topside weight. It was bad enough to cause the main deck to dip slightly in the water as she rolled. The second torpedo hit under the hanger bay. This caused her to take on more water and weaken her internal structure. 7 men were killed during these attacks.

She was towed to Ulithi island, arriving on 27 October 27. The damage was inspected and temporary repairs were made to allow her make her way to Manus Island, in Papa New Guinea and to be drydocked in the ABSD-2, arriving on December 20. Plates were welded on her external hull to make watertight and girders were installed to restore some of her structure integrity for her voyage stateside for permanent repairs. She arrived at the New York Navy Yard on March 25, 1945. All of the west coast facilities were already occupied.

The Importance of Quick Water Damage Restoration in Houston and Cypress, TX

Water damage can occur unexpectedly and cause severe problems for homeowners in Houston, a city prone to floods and heavy rains. Whether from storms, burst pipes, or malfunctioning appliances, immediate action following water damage is crucial to preventing further issues like mold growth, structural damage, and health risks. Understanding why rapid water damage restoration in Houston and Cypress, TX, is essential and what to do in the event of water damage can help minimize the long-term impacts on the property.   Preventing Mold Growth   One of the most critical reasons for acting quickly in water damage situations is to prevent mold growth. Mold can begin developing within 24 to 48 hours of water exposure, especially in Houston’s warm and humid climate. Once it starts growing, mold can spread rapidly throughout the property, creating a potentially hazardous living environment.    Mold thrives in damp environments, especially in areas that are difficult to dry out completely, such as behind walls, under floors, and in carpets. If left untreated, mold can trigger respiratory issues, allergies, and asthma attacks, particularly for those who already have compromised immune systems. Additionally, some types of mold, like black mold, can be especially toxic and require extensive remediation efforts.    By addressing water damage immediately, homeowners can reduce the chances of mold growth and ensure their homes remain safe and healthy places to live.    Avoiding Structural Damage    If left unchecked, water can have a destructive impact on a house's structure. When water infiltrates a building, it can weaken the foundation, walls, floors, and ceilings. Over time, prolonged exposure to moisture can cause wood to rot, metal to rust, and concrete to crack. These issues are costly to repair and pose safety risks, as weakened structures could collapse walls or ceilings.    In Houston, where heavy rains and flooding can be common, homeowners are particularly at risk of experiencing water damage that leads to structural problems. Acting quickly to extract water, dry the affected areas, and repair any compromised structures is essential to preserving a home's safety and stability.    Minimizing Health Risks   In addition to mold growth, water damage introduces other potential health risks to homeowners. Stagnant water can become a breeding ground for bacteria, viruses, and harmful pathogens, significantly if the water is contaminated, as is often the case with floodwater. This can lead to a range of illnesses, from skin infections to gastrointestinal problems.    Standing water also attracts pests like mosquitoes, rodents, and insects, which carry their health risks. Removing water and drying affected areas promptly reduces the chances of these pests taking hold in one’s home and spreading disease.    By responding to water damage quickly, homeowners can protect their health and prevent harmful bacteria and pathogens from contaminating their living spaces.    Quick response to water damage is essential for homeowners in Houston to prevent mold growth, structural damage, and health risks. Acting immediately protects the house's structure and ensures a safer environment for the residents. In a city where storms and floods are a constant concern, being prepared to take swift action can save homeowners from costly repairs and potential health hazards. Homeowners can contact a remodeling contractor in Houston and Katy, TX, to redesign the property as they wish.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

May 25, 2023

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

MAY 26, 2023

U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta today sentenced the leader of the right-wing Oath Keepers organization, Elmer Stewart Rhodes III, to 18 years in prison, followed by 3 years of supervised release. In November a jury found Rhodes guilty of seditious conspiracy, obstruction of an official proceeding, and tampering with documents and proceedings, for his role in organizing people to go to Washington in January 2021 and try to stop the counting of the electoral votes that would make Joe Biden president. Rhodes told the court that his only crime was standing against those who are “destroying our country.” He says he believes he is a “political prisoner” and that he hopes Trump will win the presidency in 2024. “You are not a political prisoner, Mr. Rhodes,” Judge Mehta said. “You, sir, present an ongoing threat and a peril to this country and to the republic and to the very fabric of this democracy.” And yet, former president Trump has said he would not only pardon the January 6 offenders, but would apologize to them for their treatment by the government. Today, Florida governor Ron DeSantis, who yesterday announced he is running for president, said he, too, would consider pardoning them, promising to be “aggressive in issuing pardons.” Rhodes struck at our elections. Today in the Sackett v. Environmental Protection Agency decision, the Supreme Court struck at the government regulations that underpin modern America. Michael and Chantell Sackett bought land near Priest Lake, Idaho, and backfilled the wetlands on the property to build a home. The EPA found they had violated the Clean Water Act, which prohibits putting pollutants into “the waters of the United States.” Officials told them to restore the site or face penalties of more than $40,000 a day. By a vote of 5–4, the Supreme Court found that “waters” refers only to “‘streams, oceans, rivers, and lakes’ and to adjacent wetlands that are ‘indistinguishable’ from those bodies of water due to a continuous surface connection.” This decision will remove federal protection from half of the currently protected wetlands in the U.S, an area larger than California. Homeowners, farmers, and developers will have far greater latitude to intrude on wetlands than they did previously, and that intrusion has already wrought damage as wetlands act like a sponge to absorb huge amounts of water during hurricanes. From 1992 to 2010, Houston, for example, lost more than 70% of its wetlands to development, leaving it especially vulnerable to Hurricane Harvey, a category 4 hurricane that in 2017 left 107 people dead and caused $125 billion in damage. The decision said that the EPA had overreached in its protection of wetlands as part of the Clean Water Act, and that Congress must “enact exceedingly clear language” on any rules that affect private property. This court seems eager to gut federal regulation, suggesting that Congress cannot delegate regulatory rulemaking to the executive branch. As investigative journalist Dave Troy put it, “If [the] EPA can’t enforce its rules, what federal agency can?” Justice Elena Kagan warned that by destroying the authority of the EPA, both now and in the West Virginia v. EPA decision last June that restricted the agency's ability to regulate emissions from power plants, the court had appointed itself “as the national decision maker on environmental policy.” The Clean Water Act passed by an overwhelming bipartisan vote in 1972, during the administration of Republican president Richard M. Nixon. Nixon backed the creation of the Environmental Protection Agency in 1970 after a massive oil spill off the coast of Santa Barbara, California, over ten days in January–February 1969 poured between 80,000 and 100,000 barrels of oil into the Pacific, fouling 35 miles of California beaches and killing seabirds, dolphins, sea lions, and elephant seals, and then, four months later, in June 1969, the chemical contaminants that had been dumped into Cleveland’s Cuyahoga River caught fire. In February 1970, Nixon told Congress “[W]e…have too casually and too long abused our natural environment. The time has come when we can wait no longer to repair the damage already done, and to establish new criteria to guide us in the future.” Nixon called for a 37-point program with 23 legislative proposals and 14 new administrative measures to control water and air pollution, manage solid waste, protect parklands and public recreation, and organize for action. At Nixon’s urging, Congress created the EPA in 1970, and two years later, Congress passed the Clean Water Act, establishing protections for water quality and regulating pollutant discharges into waters of the United States. House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) tweeted that “[t]oday’s Supreme Court ruling is a win for farmers, businesses, and Americans across the nation by rejecting, yet again, the Biden administration’s costly and burdensome regulatory overreach.” But it sure looks like the story is not about Biden, but rather is about an extremist SCOTUS overturning 50 years of law that gave us clean water because it is determined to slash federal authority to regulate business. McCarthy is trying to manage his conference while members of the far-right Freedom Caucus strike at our economy. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre reiterated today that defaulting on the national debt is not an option. “The President has said that, the Speaker has said that, and we want the American people to understand that as well…. What is up for debate, though, is the budget,” she said. “And that’s what these discussions are about: two very different fiscal visions for our country and our economy.” Biden’s proposed budget invests in ordinary Americans and over 10 years is projected to reduce the deficit by nearly $3 trillion by “asking the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share and by slashing wasteful spending on special interests.” In contrast, “House Republicans…want to slash programs millions of hardworking Americans count on, while also protecting tax breaks skewed to the wealthy and corporations that will add $3.5 trillion to the debt. That’s where these negotiations began,” she said. Finally, there is news today about the man that Rhodes is going to prison for, concerning his strike at our national security. Devlin Barrett, Josh Dawsey, Spencer S. Hsu, and Perry Stein of the Washington Post reported that on June 2, 2022, the day one of Trump’s lawyers contacted the Justice Department to say that officials were welcome to come to Mar-a-Lago to retrieve the classified documents the department had subpoenaed, two of Trump’s employees moved boxes of papers. The next day, when FBI agents arrived, Trump’s lawyers gave them 38 documents, said they had conducted a “diligent search,” and claimed that all the relevant documents had been turned over. Yet, when FBI agents conducted a search two months later, they found more than 100 additional classified documents. The timing of the moved boxes suggests that Trump was deliberately hiding certain documents. The Washington Post article also says that more than one witness has told prosecutors that Trump sometimes kept classified documents out in the open and showed them to people. Trump spokesperson Steven Cheung said in a statement: “This is nothing more than a targeted, politically motivated witch hunt against President Trump that is concocted to meddle in an election and prevent the American people from returning him to the White House.”

Top Signs Your Roof Needs Immediate Repair

Your roof is your home’s first line of defense against the elements, and keeping it in good shape is essential to protecting your property and family. Unfortunately, roof problems often go unnoticed until they become severe, leading to costly repairs or replacements. If you’re a homeowner, especially in Houston, you need to stay vigilant for warning signs that your roof might need immediate attention. By relying on the expertise of local Houston area roofers, you can address these issues before they escalate into major problems.

One of the most obvious signs that your roof needs repair is visible damage. Missing, cracked, or curling shingles are clear indicators that your roof is not providing the protection it should. These problems often develop after severe weather, which is not uncommon in Houston. When shingles are compromised, they expose the underlying structure to moisture and UV rays, potentially leading to water damage and weakening the roof’s integrity. If you notice shingle damage, contacting local Houston area roofers quickly is the best course of action.

Leaks are another critical sign that your roof needs immediate repair. Water stains on your ceilings or walls often indicate that moisture has found its way through your roof. These stains might start small, but ignoring them can lead to extensive water damage, mold growth, and structural issues. The humid climate in Houston can exacerbate the effects of leaks, making timely intervention essential. Local Houston area roofers are skilled at identifying the source of leaks and providing efficient solutions to prevent further damage.

Sagging areas on your roof are a serious red flag that something is amiss. A sagging roof often means that there is a structural issue, which could be due to water pooling, weakened support beams, or excessive weight from debris. If you notice any part of your roof dipping or sagging, it’s crucial to act immediately. Professional local Houston area roofers can assess the situation, identify the underlying cause, and implement the necessary repairs to restore your roof's strength and stability.

The accumulation of granules in your gutters is another sign that your roof may need attention. Asphalt shingles are coated with granules that protect them from the sun's harmful rays. Over time, these granules can wear off, particularly if your roof is aging or has been subjected to severe weather. If you find an excessive amount of granules in your gutters, it’s a good idea to consult local Houston area roofers to evaluate the condition of your roof and determine whether repairs or replacement are needed.

Flashing issues are another common problem that require immediate repair. Flashing is used to seal areas where the roof meets vertical structures, such as chimneys or vents. If the flashing is cracked, loose, or missing, water can seep into these vulnerable areas and cause damage. The unpredictable weather in Houston makes properly installed and maintained flashing a necessity. Local Houston area roofers have the expertise to repair or replace flashing, ensuring your roof remains watertight.

Even minor issues like moss, mold, or algae growth can signal a problem with your roof. These organisms thrive in moist environments, and their presence might indicate trapped moisture or poor drainage. Over time, they can cause shingles to deteriorate and create openings for water infiltration. The experienced local Houston area roofers know how to address these problems effectively, preventing further damage and extending the life of your roof.

A roof’s age is another factor that homeowners should consider. Most roofs have a lifespan of 20 to 30 years, depending on the materials used. If your roof is approaching or has exceeded its expected lifespan, it’s time to have it inspected by local Houston area roofers. They can identify potential weaknesses and recommend repairs or a replacement if necessary.

Maintaining the health of your roof is a critical aspect of homeownership. By paying attention to these warning signs and relying on trusted local Houston area roofers, you can protect your home from costly damages and ensure that your roof remains a reliable shield against the elements. Don’t wait for minor issues to turn into major problems—act quickly and partner with professionals who understand the unique challenges of Houston’s climate and can provide top-notch service.
