Well done. I left some time ago but my heart is still in Port A.....love and blessings to those who stayed and brought it back to life. RIP's to those who passed along the way,,,, Allen, Walter....I miss you guys.
This was the best documentary I’ve ever seen. So honest and heartfelt. It makes me want to move to Texas. No kidding. Such wonderful, resilient people. I feel like I’ve known them forever. God bless you strong people.
This may be the best Hurricane Harvey documentary I have seen. I'm a meteorologist for a private company in Houston. Obviously we went through a lot here in Houston. But I often feel that the Coastal Bend region is often left out of Harvey conversations. I love the Coastal Bend focus in this documentary and I also appreciate the focus on the aftermath. The aftermath can often be worse than the storm itself. Great job on this!
My dog came from Hurricane Harvey. She was rescued by someone and was one of the dogs sent to Washington State for adoption. The humane society believed she was a stray, she didn’t know any commands when we first got her and had a hard time adjusting to living inside I think. She’s a pointer and blue heeler mix, she is the sweetest and most loving dog I’ve ever had. She is my soul dog and I love her more than life itself, she’s sleeping here right now in bed next to me. I searched for months online to see if she was anyone’s dog and they were missing her but I couldn’t find anything. God bless the beautiful humans who rescued her, all of the other animals and other people who needed help. I can’t say thank you enough, I’m so sorry to everyone who lost their loved ones and homes. I can’t imagine the devastation, god bless y’all and I hope you’re all doing better. Stay safe ❤️
It is devastating to lose your house and everything in it and when they want you to evacuate they promised to keep your pets safe and you’d get them back. They lied . I will never evacuate even though I’m in Galveston County.
Work force never came back. TWIA dropped the ball for everyone! Prices went through the roof! Now that we have rebuilt, the local government has raised taxes to high that we can’t even afford to live in our home town anymore!!!! It is sad how this community has become after such a tragedy…
i live in elcampo texas about 45 minutes from bay city i used to live in wharton texas we never thought it would be that serious at a weak cat 3 but the flooding was horrible wharton texas looked mostly underwater on the center area of town was not flooded. i live on the river and evacuated on the second day when the water was almost too high. we had to go to a church to take shelter in town all roads out were underwater. even with all that it wasnt until i saw the areal video of wharton that i cried. i just kept telling my family we were ok and we are strong but it was scarey. while we were at the church shelter though everyone came together and helped each other out and that was a wonderful feeling every time a new family traumatized came in we helped them settle in and made sure they had something warm to eat and drink. the only thing that was worse than harvey was 2021 winter smack down. Also media was crap with warnings and afterwards all they talked about was houston there were cities and towns south of houston that got destroyed and underwater but houston got the bulk of the help. all we could do was chip in and help each other.
If Harvey had 6 more hours over water, it could've made a run at Cat 5. The way the eyewall had blown up with hot towers, it could've gone all the way.
"I have not seen the TV news in 22 days, and it's been the most peaceful time of my life...in the middle of THIS." What a #mood. I took a social media break starting in 2017 that I only recently came back from, and opted for a total news media blackout during COVID. Amazing how it turned a fucking nightmare that left me trembling every time I left the house into a scary, scary time that I felt calm enough to handle. Cut the cord, whatever side of the political spectrum you're on (but also, don't rely on youtube "weather machines make hurricanes!!!" conspiracy vids as a supplement for your news--seek it out yourself on fact-checked websites. Don't just parrot shit because it's something you WANT to believe is or isn't true.)

Thank you for your response! We were inspired by everyone we had the good fortune to meet.
It was a privilege to be a part of this. Thank you.
Sam, you didn’t just drop the marble, you carried it to the top for everyone else first! Thank you for your selfless sacrifice that helped so many.

Thanks for releasing this, and for featuring Aaron and CBFWC ❤️

Hey i saw my house.
I'll take things that never happened for 500
If Harvey had 6 more hours over water, it could've made a run at Cat 5. The way the eyewall had blown up with hot towers, it could've gone all the way.
what if we planted giant bamboo and harvest soots in salt brine etc.?
