    Harvey has wreaked havoc on Houston, causing unprecedented rainfall and thousands of evacuations. Last year, Reveal teamed up with the Texas Tribune to investigate why America's fourth largest city – and one of its biggest energy centers – isn't prepared for a major storm.

    This week, their reporters are back on the ground in Houston for an update on last year's report. Stay tuned for the latest on the storm.
