Congresswoman Sylvia Garcia (D-TX 29) held a press conference Sept. 23 to address post-Imelda recovery efforts, standing across the street from the damaged post office on Aldine Bender Road in north Houston.
On Thursday, Sept. 19, the post office building's flat roof collapsed during Tropical Storm Imelda, causing three people to have minor injuries according to Garcia. The post office, located in Garcia's district, is still working to analyze the damage completely before opening it to a tour by Garcia or the media.

The immense damage to the mail distribution facility still looks about the same as it did Thursday morning when the flat roof collapsed during heavy rainfall, leaving three people with minor injuries.
Between the damage and flooding at other post offices, FOX 26 News' Ivory Hecker talked to some people who haven't received mail in up to five days.
The United States Postal Service has temporarily suspended activity at multiple Houston-area facilities until further notice due to the impact of Tropical Storm Imelda.
Despite damage experienced at the north Houston mail processing facility, USPS says it is "working daily to return to full operations, as soon as we can safely do so."
USPS released the following statement Monday:
