SUMMARY: Homeowners in a southside Houston neighborhood are frustrated by an abandoned house that’s remained unkempt for nearly a year. Brendan Smith, who moved to Mount Pleasant Street in late 2022, and neighbor Craig Jones complain about the neglected home’s conditions, including boarded-up windows and an overgrown yard. Smith has occasionally mowed the lawn but is no longer able to manage it. The property owner owes $17,000 in back taxes. Despite repeated notices from the city, the issues persist.

Experts warn it could become a Category 2 or 3 storm. Beryl has already shown unprecedented rapid intensification, with significant increases in wind speed. This early-season storm reflects unusually warm Atlantic waters, potentially influenced by climate change and a developing La Nina, suggesting a more intense hurricane season ahead.
