On Tuesday's show: We look at the forecast for rain the rest of the week and discuss the probability of another early-season hurricane this year, like Hurricane Beryl last season, with Justin Ballard, meteorologist with the Houston Chronicle.Also this hour: There seems to be an awful lot of misunderstanding and perhaps even misuse of the First Amendment these days. We discuss how the rights to speech, religion, press, and assembly are viewed legally when that is at odds with what is happening around the country -- and what it all means for us here in Houston.Then, is advocating for equitable transportation in Houston getting harder to do? We ask Robin Holzer, the new head of LINK Houston.And we explore the concept of developing more events and venues in Houston that help Houstonians get in touch with their feminine side.

The Saharan Air Layer, which generally moves between 5,000 and 15,000 feet above sea level, contains an average of 50% less moisture.

 President Trump's Agenda, The Status of the OBBB & Hurricane Season w/Senator Rick Scott

For real? The head of the nation's disaster response agency doesn't know about hurricane season? WTF?

It's been 600 days of genocide. It's impossible to put into words the horrors, and it is actually impossible to count the destruction, with so many still lost beneath the rubble that is now Gaza.  Meanwhile, Israel's sadism somehow always finds a way to escalate - this time with supposed "aid" that sees Palestinians kettled and massacred while hoping for food. What can we expect from an aid organization backed by Mossad and the US? Here at home, our fearless leaders like Rubio are standing up for corporate free speech - while squashing human free speech.  And it'd be way more funny if it weren't actually true: leaked transcripts from FEMA meetings show that it's not only run by someone interested in shutting it down, but run by someone who doesn't know basic geography. It's a helluva time to be alive, y'all!   leecamp.net artkillingapathy.com

Hurricane season is upon us, and the National Hurricane Center is predicting an above-average season.

Written by New York Times bestselling author and investigative journalist Susan D. Mustafa and District Attorney Charles J. Ballay, the novel follows the lives of two families—one Black and one white—as they struggle to fight the corrupt New Orleans politicians who steal their land.The authors join us for more on their collaborative process and how their story relates to issues of forced migration today. The nonpartisan advocacy group Leaders for a Better Louisiana is calling on state lawmakers to restore funding that was cut from a tutoring program that is believed to have played a major role in recent historic improvements in education. Last week, the Senate Finance Committee added back funding for the tutoring, but the funding reallocation still needs to pass the House and Senate.Better Louisiana Chief Policy Officer Barry Erwin joins us with more on the high-dosage tutoring program and its impact. now.—Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

In the twenty years since Hurricane Katrina devastated the Gulf Coast, powerful hurricanes such as Sandy, Irma, Maria and Helene have caused immense property destruction and led to thousands of deaths. If Katrina taught us anything, it was to be prepared for the unimaginable. But have we learned that lesson?  In this episode, part of a series tied to the 20th anniversary of Katrina, we report from the National Hurricane Conference in New Orleans about what we've learned in the years since. Emergency management teams from the Virgin Islands reflect on the two Category 5 hurricanes that hit within just two weeks of each other in 2017, scientists describe how climate change is reshaping hurricanes and our new tools for forecasting them. Meanwhile dark clouds are gathering. As we head into hurricane season, the administration proposes to slash funding for agencies that are tasked with helping us prepare and recover from natural disasters, such as NOAA and the National Weather Service. Guests: Yvette Henry – Community Affairs Coordinator at the Department of Human Services in the US Virgin Islands Abigail Hendricks – Emergency Support Function #6 coordinator on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Meaghan Enright – executive director of the nonprofit, Love City Strong that works on disaster preparedness, response, and recovery on the island of St John, Virgin Islands Rebeca Mueller – Director of media coordination, National Hurricane Conference Michael Brennan – Director, National Hurricane Center, Miami, Florida Julie Roberts – Former director of communications and Deputy Chief of Staff for NOAA during the first Trump administration.
