July 8, 2024. Hurricane Beryl hit Texas. 44 dead. 2.7 million people without power. $7.2-32 billion in damage.
But this was only the beginning.
May derecho: 100 mph winds, 5,000 windows shattered in downtown Houston. Memorial Day tornado: 7 dead, Valley View completely destroyed. December tornado: 68-mile path, the longest of 2024.
Texas saw $190 billion in disasters in 2024. Ranked #1 in the US.
And the insurance companies? They fled. Progressive, Foremost, Lemonade—all gone. Premiums up 117%, doubled.
The federal government sent $937 million in January 2025. Texas's real need? $54.5 billion.
5 million Texans live at risk of flooding. 1.3 million structures are in floodplains. TWIA reserves are depleted.
And Governor Abbott? He was on vacation in Taiwan when Beryl hit. No insurance reform. $225 million in FEMA grants were turned down.
Hurricane season 2026 is coming. Texas is not ready.
