Portraits of Hurricane Harvey
Over the course of a few days, Hurricane Harvey dumped 33 trillion gallons of water over Texas and Louisiana. They called it a one-thousand year flood, unprecedented in scale, leaving everyone in its path affected. As I was coming to grips with the reality of my own flooded home, I knew I wasn't the only one going through a time of trial and loss. So I reached out. I asked friends and family, new acquaintances and strangers, to share with us how the storm impacted their lives. These are their stories.
