It’s been one year since Hurricane Harvey struck Houston, flooding the city and displacing tens of thousands of people. In one week, the Category 4 storm dropped 61 inches of rain and caused $ 125 billion in damages. The National Hurricane Center called Harvey “the most significant tropical cyclone rainfall event in U.S. history.”
“At one point, we didn’t know if we were going to be able to save the hospital,” says the [Harris Health] facilities director.
