Hurricane Harvey slammed into Texas on August 25, 2017 with a vengeance leaving behind a lot of devastation and loss. While my home was one of the lucky few not to sustain damage worse than two leaky bedroom windows, thousands of others were not so fortunate. Some lost everything as the flood waters covered homes to the roof, where residents were waiting for rescue, tornadoes flew in and out, and at least one house fire that I know of. Our cities came together as one to rescue people and animals stranded in the rising water, whether their home or their car. Hundreds more from other states volunteered to help in the rescue process. They came in with their fishing boats, air boats, john boats. The National Guard, the Cajun Army and the Cajun Navy. First Responders, Military and civilians all worked together as one. It was, and is still is, a beautiful sight. Below is a video made by Charlie Diggs and shared on facebook. If you haven't seen it, take a look: Proud to be a Texan
Clean up is still ongoing and will be for a very long time. We are Houston Strong, Texas Strong and will recover and if need be, will do it all again.
Until next time,
Terri
