HOUSTON, TEXAS - SEPTEMBER 14: Dallas Baines, 77, disposes of fallen tree branches after Tropical Storm Nicholas moved through the area on September 14, 2021 in Houston, Texas. "I've got no power, so I thought I might as well get out and get some cleaning done. There hasn't been much flooding in this area since Harvey," said Baines when asked about the Tropical Storm Nicholas. Nicholas strengthened to a Category 1 hurricane as it made landfall late Monday evening, but is gradually weakening as it moves towards the Northeast.
