Many Houston-area residents experienced at preparing for hurricane season have likely already stocked their home with basic supplies such as extra batteries, a first-aid kit, rain gear and a 7-day supply of non-perishable food and water among other essentials needed to weather a severe storm and its aftermath. But breast cancer patients should be aware to also have additional supplies on hand, especially as Texas continues to face new challenges created by the COVID-19 pandemic, making it more important than ever to plan ahead.

TAMPA, Fla. – The aftereffects of 2017’s Hurricane Irma appear to have killed more than 400 senior residents of Florida nursing homes, a new university study shows.

Researchers at the University of South Florida and Brown University concluded that 433 additional patients died within 90 days of the September 2017 storm, compared to the same period in 2015, when there were no hurricanes.

Their study examined health data for 62,000 patients at 640 Florida nursing homes obtained from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, according to the Tampa Bay Times. The study was recently released.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said Delta should turn toward the north during the night and then more to the north-northeast on Friday. Forecasters say Delta will approach the coast Friday and howl ashore sometime in the afternoon or Friday night, most likely somewhere in southwest Louisiana.

Some weakening is expected as Delta nears the coast, forecasters added.

BELL CITY, La. — Huge piles of debris caused by Hurricane Laura in August stretched along roadways in Bell City, southeast of Lake Charles. Now the region is fearful of another hurricane strike, this time by Delta, in coming hours.

Some of the debris piles were more than 6 feet (2 meters) high and as long as 75 feet (22 meter) . Concerns mounted that Delta’s arrival would cause the uncollected debris to become airborne and turn into deadly projectiles.

LANCASTER, Pennsylvania — Evelyn Colón kisses the forehead of her mother, whom she cares for in her small apartment in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, where they arrived from Puerto Rico three years ago after fleeing the devastation of Hurricane María.

Colón, 69, was busy preparing a party for her mother’s 91st birthday with a cake full of candles.

Puerto Rican Evelyn Colón moved to Lancaster, Pa., to take care of her elderly parents, after being damaged by Hurricane Maria in 2017. Her
