‘It was so packed’: Houston area hospitals see increase in storm-related visits

Monday morning, after Hurricane Beryl hit Texas’ coast, a Pasadena woman – who does not want to be identified – like millions lost power. She was also running out of oxygen in her tanks. The mother of two has congestive heart failure, enlarged heart and pulmonary embolism. “By Monday night I was out of oxygen,” she said. “I managed to call the ambulance with one percent [on her phone] and give my address to them before it hung up.”
