Preventing catastrophic floods (July 8, 2025)

On Tuesday's show: We get the latest on the flooding the Texas Hill Country, local efforts to aid in the rescue and recovery operations, and what actions elected officials could have taken to mitigate the disaster -- and what they might do to prevent similar ones in the future.

Also this hour: We learn how summer camps prepare for emergencies and work to put parents' minds at ease as they leave their children in their care for days or even weeks at a time.

Then, a local therapist who specializes in grief and family trauma talks about dealing with trauma after events like the floods in Central Texas. Her practice is offering free virtual counseling sessions and a collection of trauma-informed resources for those affected by the Texas floods.

Plus: Hurricane Beryl made landfall a year ago today. Houstonians saw power knocked out for days. We reflect on the state of the power grid and CenterPoint, one year later.

And certain neighborhoods in Houston have become focal points for the bar and club scene. Houston Chronicle columnist Joy Sewing explains some of the negative things that come along with that and how people who live in those areas are pushing back.
