THROWBACK THURSDAY: Harvey Makes Landfall August 25, 2017

Hurricane Harvey exploded from a tropical depression to a major hurricane in around 40 hours. Not just a major hurricane but a category 4 major hurricane with peak gusts reported at 132 MPH. Rockport took a direct hit. The hurricane's violent eyewall winds destroyed entire city blocks. I think most of us were taken aback by Hurricane Harvey's damage in the Victoria area. Below are photos showing damage in Victoria.
Hurricane Harvey caused widespread damage that made some areas unrecognizable. Not to mention, many Victorians were left without power, some for weeks. I was without power for a little over a week. What I also remember is finding out what Texas Strong stood for. It is hard to believe that it has been six years already. I know hurricane season has been super quiet but don't let your guard down.
