Northeast Houston: Major Accident

4:50 am

We just got a call from our assignment desk. A major accident just happened on highway 59 and Little York. So, we are loading our gear back into our news unit and into our live truck.

Here's what we know:
We have a transtar camera showing an 18-wheeler on its side. My executive producer just text messaged me to tell me that the cab appears to be on highway 59 and the trailer is over a concrete barrier that is blocking the HOV lane. I'm also told that fuel is spilled on highway 59.

We are on our way... I'll have an update soon.

Here's a link to transtar. It has the...

Good Morning, Houston!

We are on our way to North Houston. A group of people were arrested over night for cockfighting. I'm gathering information from our news desk and from people we have out on the field. I'll have an update as soon. See you on TV in about 45 minutes.

P.S. Check my comments section for updates

Here's a summary:

A cockfighting ring lost its bets yesterday when authorities busted into the makeshift gambling operation. Authorities arrested 6 people, seized 175 roosters, and confiscated 60 vehicles.

About 80 people were making ...



Near Downtown: LOW... Low...low gas prices

Good morning:)

OPEC didn't have a meeting, the stars didn't align, and God didn't mandate the reduced price of gas. But, paying $1.51 for gas feels like a miracle!

We're working on a story about low gas prices. About a year ago we were paying $1.30 more! Believe me, I remember those days... thinking Christmas is around the corner and I can't afford to buy GAS for myself for Christmas. Apparently the reduction in price is due to a decrease in demand.

Here's the gas breakdown:
Houston: $1.51
Galveston: $1.57
Texas: $1.56
National: $1.66

The lowest price ...

Good Morning!

Huge snowflakes fell in my area last night. It was awesome! But, this morning all the snow is gone:( So, Michele and I are headed north on I59 towards the thicker snow. We're told Liberty County has about 3 inches on the ground. I'm really hoping there's enough on the ground to build a snowman:) See you on TV in a bit. We are going on air at 4:30 am this morning.
E-mail me pictures from your neighborhood and I'll post them. rflores@khou.com

Near Downtown: Stinky day in court... literally

1:55 PM Tue, Dec 09, 2008 |

I rushed from my live shot location in the Montrose area to the courthouse at 1400 Lubbock. Dealing with traffic was easy. Finding the place was not. But, I parked, went through the metal detector and found courtroom 6 with time to spare.

Montrose Area: Free Stuff

5:50 PM Mon, Dec 08, 2008 |
Juanita Jimenez

Life is expensive and making ends meet is not easy. Affording breakfast means forking out at least $2.00 for coffee and another $1.89 for a pastry. Gas prices are on a decline (thank goodness) if it wasn't for that, driving to a coffee shop to buy coffee could cost double that amount. All this to say that when times are tough any little help can go a long way. So, wouldn't it be nice to get something for free?
