Also: There’s very little good to talk about regarding Hurricane Harvey. Except that...
Alfredia Brooks asked to hug each of the volunteers from ICNA Relief USA and Qalam Institute, Houston and Dallas, who gutted out her Hurricane Harvey flooded home Saturday, Feb. 24, 2018, in Houston.We asked you to share your thoughts five years after Hurricane Harvey made landfall. Here’s what you said.Harvey ruined a home and many of the artifacts that inspire stories of a family that lived there for nearly 40 years.
A hurricane might ruin things, but it can bring out the qualities in people that don’t shine every day. Hurricanes draw loved ones closer around what really makes brothers, sisters, sisters- and brothers-in-law, nieces and nephews a family.Our pastor called, word spread and people responded. The church was opened, with folks hauling generators, cots, mattresses, bedding, clothing, food, water. Leaving their damaged property, the call to help was answered.
Embedded in my memory of Harvey is the joining of community, a spirit of giving and working together. We must reignite that flame!I am a resident of Sienna Plantation and my home was not affected by Hurricane Harvey. However, a wonderful and thoughtful neighbor wanted to help other Sienna Plantation residents whoimpacted. This caring neighbor had a two-day barbecue in front of his house and offered free food with a request for donations to help those in need.
We were so grateful to those volunteers and will never forget our relief to have these loved ones safely taken to higher ground. They remained almost a week with us until their neighborhood water resided, helping us take up carpets when the flooding was in our yards, threatening to come inside. We are so grateful that we escaped major damage and physical harm. We are encouraged by current measures being planned for flood management.
