Harvey Pays a Visit to South Texas

A year ago, my part of the world was ripped apart by Hurricane Harvey. Harvey set a new record for the amount of rainfall a hurricane dropped; in four days, the area around Houston received 51.88 inches. When that amount of rain falls suddenly around here, you have trouble. Up to a million cars were flooded. Over 204,000 homes were flooded.

Here are some pictures we took last year during and after Harvey rolled through the Texas Gulf Coast.

Here is what the rain was like. Just a normal rain, right? 

But it went on and on for four days and nights.

Cleanup begins at the home of some students from my school.

My husband's office building was flooded.

This was his office for many months.

Many friends and family spent the last year repairing their homes. I still have some friends who have not been able to return home.
