The hurricane took what it wanted
On August 26, 2017, about 25 miles from right here, Hurricane Harvey made landfall. It was a Category 4 storm, and is tied with Hurricane Katrina as the costliest tropical cyclone on record.
And here we are, closing in on two years after the storm, and damage is still visible across a wide swath of South Texas.

You certainly brought this up close and personal.

I wish I’d had more time to explore the area; I feel like I didn’t do it any justice, with my drive-by-photography.

Nice shot and update. Yet how soon the rest of us forget. Seems like even our leaders and government forget. The wonders of “ Red Tape”.
I could keep ranting but shall desist.

I live outside of hurricane zones, so it’s hard for me to imagine what these storms are like.

We get some powerful winds on the Texas High Plains, where I live, but nothing like a hurricane!
