HOUSTON, TEXAS - JULY 11: Robinette Gardley, 46, speaks about her situation from her living room after she lost power during Hurricane Beryl in the Kashmere Gardens neighborhood on July 11, 2024 in Houston, Texas. “This is my life, from inside to out there just trying to keep cool. I work in a nursing home, and it’s the same there. The power was out, the heat is bad. The patients there are basically sleeping in their diapers because it’s hot . . . I took off today because I just can’t do it. I’m going through it here, so to go to work facing the same thing, no AC just nothing, it’s hard . . . I took the day off because it’s mental. I need a mental break,” said Gardley. Millions of residents around the Houston metropolitan and costal areas continue braving the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl's destruction. Weather reports forecast a chance of storms increasing throughout the region, stalling recovery efforts. (Photo by Brandon Bell/Getty Images)
