HOUSTON — Downtown Houston remains busy less than a week after a deadly storm hit.
On Wednesday, surveyors were out checking on the damage. They mapped out the dangerous areas and blocked off streets on the southwest side to keep people safe.
The area includes mostly office buildings. A Park and Ride that caters to workers remained closed as city officials asked employees to work remotely.
"There's about 4,000 windows across two dozen properties that are in the process of being stabilized and working from home is really just to encourage people to remain safe. There's still falling glass," Downtown Houston Plus CEO and President Kris Larson said.
Many of downtown's entertainment venues are outside of the exclusion zone and the METRORail is still running.
On Wednesday, the Astros wrapped up a series at Minute Maid Park against the Los Angeles Angels. Fans who had been cleaning up their storm damage were happy to take the trip downtown.
"Yeah, I need a break. I've been working all weekend nonstop," one fan said.
The George R. Brown Convention Center is hosting the annual Comicpalooza event this weekend. They're expecting 50,000 attendees.
Those planning to attend downtown events on Memorial Day Weekend said they recognize the work being done to clean up the debris and warn visitors of the dangers.
Stephanie McGee made the trip from Montgomery two days after the storm to attend a convention.
"I saw the broken windows on the buildings with boards covering cleanup crews that were, you know, cleaning up all that debris from the storm. I mean, the biggest concern was you didn't know the stability of the buildings or the structures," she said.
