Less Than A Year After Hurricane Harvey More Flooding Hit The Texas Coast

in #family6 years ago

We took our annual trip to the coast last week.

It hasn't even been a full year since Hurricane Harvey decimated the Texas Coast.

Port Aransas, Tx and Rockport, Tx got the worst of it. There was 5 feet of water in our house there.

Ironically the week we were to leave to go down there a tropical storm dumped 15 inches of rain on Port Aransas flooding the island again. We got 3 inches of flooding in the downstairs. And the pool was full of dead crabs.

Here are some pics of the damage.

Despite the choppy water and windy conditions, we did get to vacation some. But also spent time cleaning up the place.

Slowly but surely life is returning to our little island paradise.

Thanks for reading my blog.

Carry On, HM

Bad news man.... Did you get any indication that the rain was going to be so heavy or was it an 'out of the blue' surprise?

The rain was forecast, the duration was not. That storm just parked on top of us for about 2 days.
