Hurricane Beryl hit the Texas coast as a Category 1 storm, early on the morning of July 8, 2024. It made a direct hit on Houston, knocking out power to millions and causing catastrophic damages to property.  More than a month after the hurricane struck, the chopped up trees that fell on homes and in yards have still not all been picked up.  Just like the debris, it will take time for people's homes and businesses to be properly repaired.  However, insurance companies are required by law to act and pay insurance claims according to strict timelines, as I discuss here in this video.
