Hurricane Harvey (aftermath)

WOW-what a storm.....we were all nervous, scared, anxious and worried for five days straight. Amber did not get any rain, ugh. We got plenty of rain and strong winds.damage to our patio, fence and light flooding around the house, but James did a nice job getting the water away from the house- so nothing flooded, whew. Kristi and Melissa almost got flooded out...water came into their garage but then water lowered...their street became a river. I kept in contact with them the entire time until they felt the worst had passed. I love Houston and prayed and cried over the images coming out of the city. I donated for the relief fund and especially for the pets....heartbreaking stories coming out of Houston. The city will never be the same nor I because of this storm. Historic flooding in Texas, we got 15 inches and Houston got over 51 inches- the most in US history. Additionally, the towns heading into Houston from Austin all got flooded too....no way in or out of Houston during this time. The storm has since moved out of Texas, after being here five to 7 days.....everyone is fine now.
