Hurricane Harvey Retrospective Coming

Like everyone else in Houston, my family was impacted by Hurricane Harvey. When I have more time, I'll write a more detailed post about what it has been like going through this experience, but long story short - my family had to evacuate and my parents had to leave their house on a sheriff's boat after retreating to the second story of the house they have lived in since 1981 - the house that has never flooded before. They lost the entire first floor of their house to flood waters. I have five siblings, and every single one of them came together (from as far away as Kentucky) to tear out my parents' walls and everything else (church volunteers got to the floors before any of us could even get there!
