Houston and the Harvey Recovery
A short time ago Hurricane Harvey smashed its way into Texas becoming the first Atlantic hurricane to make landfall in the U.S. since 2005. Harvey was the wettest tropical cyclone on record to have hit the U.S. and the increased waters caused by the Hurricane quickly overwhelmed the city of Houston’s flood failsafes and caused the flooding and evacuation of hundreds of thousands of homes.
While the damage from wind and rain was, and is, catastrophic and the lives of many have been permanently changed forever - the city of Houston and the state of Texas have once again shown the grit and determination that made our republic legendary in years past. Relief concerts are scheduled, events are planned, and already heroic efforts are being taken to restore the area to its former state.
