Devastating power outages and destruction in Houston left by Hurricane Beryl again underscored the city’s inability to sufficiently fortify itself against extreme weather events worsened by climate change. This was the lowest level hurricane, a Category One, and yet it knocked out power to millions and left the nation’s fourth largest city reeling. Past horrific hurricanes, including Ike in 2008 and Harvey in 2017, made crystal clear that the city needed to bolster its infrastructure including expanding flood-plain protections, burying more power lines underground, and hardening its power grid. But those city, state and corporate efforts have repeatedly fallen short.
Climate researcher Brian Brettschneider says the rain has “certainly, quite literally put a damper” on wildfire concerns.

If you live in a storm-prone area, you know just how important it is to hope for the best but be prepared for the worst. A well-stocked emergency kit that has all of the essentials — a first aid kit, batteries, blankets and water — can mean the world of a difference in a crisis. And in many cases, a limited-time power outage is perhaps the best-case scenario one can hope for during an emergency. But being prepared during a power outage also requires a bit of forethought; namely, knowing where you backup flashlights, batteries, candles and matches are during a blackout. Fortunately, I've found a gadget that I think solves for those problems — and it's all thanks to my own mom. I first discovered these handy nightlights that double as flashlights from my nearly 60-year-old mother, who lives...
