On Thursday's show: For some, that was it. Beryl was the last straw. They're considering leaving Houston (there’s even a “Leaving Texas Support Meet-Up” planned Thursday night for those considering leaving town).
For others, there’s a growing sense of unease about how long to stay in a community continuously threatened by extreme weather. Last fall, a Houston Matters exclusive survey question posed by the Hobby School of Public Affairs at the University of Houston found a majority of residents say they’ve thought about leaving the area in recent years, with more than half of those folks citing extreme weather as the reason why.
Meanwhile others are defiant and prepared to ride out any future storm.
We discuss whether extreme weather, power outages, and other factors in recent memory have Houstonians thinking about leaving our city.
Also this hour: New analysis places the economic impact of Beryl in the billions of dollars. But who pays for what? We talk it over with some experts.
Then, the abstract expressionist paintings of Janet Sobel influenced Jackson Pollock. So, why isn't she a household name like he is? An exhibit at the Menil Collection aims to remedy that with the help of her grandson, who lives here.
And the George R. Brown Convention Center will host DJ Screw Day on Saturday. We listen back to a 2022 conversation about DJ Screw, the Houston music pioneer who continues to influence H-town and hip-hop culture.
