As a native Houstonian, it was heart-wrenching to watch the news as Hurricane Harvey settled over the Texas Gulf Coast and dropped over 4 feet of rain in 4 days. At home in Austin, I streamed local KHOU news and watched images of emergency personnel, courageous civilians and news reporters evacuating people from their flooded homes and cars.
