Margaret Gaines, of Houston, stands in her bedroom Friday, Sept. 16, 2016, as she talks about how part of the roof of her home collapsed onto her bed in August. The Gaines said the roof had previously been fixed after it was damaged by Hurricane Ike in 2008, but she blamed shoddy repair work for the new collapse. Gaines has applied for help in fixing her roof through the city of Houston's new "Blue Tarp Program," which is working to help repair roofs damaged during Ike or other storms. (AP Photo/Juan A.
