Category 4 hurricane. Its then stalled over Houston for days,
dumping over 30 inches of rain, and nearly 52 inches of rain at

damaged over 200,000 homes and businesses and resulted in 103
deaths across Texas. Total damage estimates range from $125-$160
billion.

We met with Barbara in the backyard of her home, still in the midst of
repairs, eight months after the floods from Hurricane Harvey left a
trail of destruction through Houston, Texas. She shared a few of the
never-ending list of challenges and "flood brain" weariness in trying
to recover from an event like this, from rescuing your cat, to chasing
down your mail, to selecting new door knobs.
