‘It’s just like nothing I’ve ever seen’: Dozens of senior living facilities without power

It’s hard to see much of anything on the third floor of the Treemont Living Community in SW Houston. As you walk by, temporary lights lead your path. Deirdre McClain invited KPRC 2 to her unit to feel what residents have experienced since Hurricane Beryl knocked out power.
“My experience has been awful,” McClain said. “This is the third day that we are without electricity.”
Also on the third floor is Liz Daher’s 92-year-old dad, Sam. She called Houston firefighters to the facility to remove him from his room so he could seek treatment.
“He has congestive heart failure, so the heat has just made it worse,” Daher said. “We can’t stand to be in there, so of course he can’t stand to be in there.”
Her dad wasn’t the only one assisted by HFD. In an hour’s span, KPRC 2′s Rilwan Balogun watched as three ambulances visited the southwest community with paramedics treating residents.
