We'd been stuck there for a couple of days and needless to say, were very grateful to get somewhere safe, comfortable and dry. The aftermath of the storm was still being felt everywhere, including most restaurants - but there was one place within walking distance of the hotel which was open: the Burger Palace, on Sage Road. They were there working as hard as they could, serving burgers and trying to keep some sense of normality for folks who just wanted a hot meal. Normally they have a variety of gourmet burgers with all kinds of extras, but all they had on this day were regular old burgers. Gourmet or not, I can safely say it was one of the best burgers I've ever had in my life - when you are tired, hungry and distressed it means the world to have a decent meal and a cold beer. My hat's off to the restaurant owners, workers, and cooks who kept things going during a tough time and helped to lift our spirits.

Text Any textual data included in the document. Four months before the storm, we sold a suburban house of 21 years and moved to the 40th floor of a highrise in the heart of downtown, 2 blocks from the bayou. Saturday was uneventful, and we were beginning to feel that Harvey was yet another overhyped weather event. We walked down to the Buffalo Bayou a couple times and saw that the somewhat elevated level was actually lower than it had been on Friday. Sunday morning I looked out the window and saw water. I went immediately to our basement storage unit and saw that a pump failed and it was beginning to take on water. I came and got my husband and we began moving many, many boxes out of the unit. The freight elevator ceased functioning in the rising water so this meant carrying heavy items up many stairs. We got all but a large table that we elevated on 4 clothing stuffed plastic bins (later these items floated and resettled themselves in the water). Then the waiting began. We lost water intermittently on Sunday, but that pump situation was ultimately resolved. The elevators were removed from service for roughly 3 days because the basement flooding soaked the cables, ensuring sufficient exercise. We lost television service and internet for 5 or 6 days. But we never lost the most important: electricity and the beautiful air conditioning. By Tuesday I was slightly crazy so I walked to the convention center which was, at that point, housing its peak of 10,000 people. The generosity of Houstonians was immediately apparent with mountains of donations lining the back of the giant center with heavy pedestrian traffic bringing more. I then waited in line with countless other volunteers, finally signing in then skirting the required “orientation.” I began helping by distributing wheel chairs to the medical hubs in the different halls, giving me a chance to really see what was occurring. I was struck by feeling of calmness, allaying my fears of finding the basest human survival instincts described at the New Orleans Superdome. Evacuees were polite and resigned, sleeping and sitting in family groups. Many gathered flattened cardboard to create walls to give them their own space. The most heartbreaking situation I saw was a pregnant mother being transported to a hospital, having to leave her 5, 4, and 2 year old in the hands of strangers as she knew no one else at the shelter. I finally made my way to the food intake area where I help sort and organize the flood of incoming food. Ready to eat foods were sent up the the dinner line to accompany the pallets of ready to eat meals, heated in some portable ovens. Again, evacuees were patient and polite. Watching a Red Cross Shelter in action was truly awe-inspiring, having worked in many volunteer situations. The operation is like a massive animal, operating without a head. I tried unsuccessfully to find out the ultimate destination of the canned foods, trying to organize most effectively for the future. I never found anyone “in charge.” Leadership was naturally taken up by the volunteer that had been there the longest and had the right personality. And it worked. Ten thousand people were fed, cots and blankets were distributed, varying degrees of medical care were provided, medication was distributed. When I left near 10:00pm, a huge new crop of volunteers were undergoing orientation. Wednesday I felt I could safely get to the food pantry where I have volunteered for years out in Katy. With unfortunate timing, I had agreed to become the Director beginning 2 days before, after foisting my youngest child off on the university system. The pantry got about a foot of water in it. Especially heartbreaking because we had just finished a slight expansion and complete redo about 3 weeks before. If you have never had the privilege of cleaning up flood water, it is impressively dirty, leaving sandy debris and general “ick” everywhere. While we were moving every shelf inside, cutting out sheetrock, and discarding food that had been on the bottom shelves, volumes of donations were arriving and being staged outside until we could move them in. Thursday, Friday and Saturday are a bit of a blur. I was at the pantry about 12 hours each day. In the parking lot in front we set up a drive through service for those in need. Sometimes, we had 10 or more cars being served at a time. Over those three days, we helped over 1000 households, representing 1000s of adults and children. While this circus was occurring in the front, the back door was equally busy. Cars, trucks and trailers lined up to drop off donations.To satisfy our ruling body, all items donated need to weighed on the way in. A single 18” square scale is what we have to process donations that may be 2000 lbs. for a trailer. Food is weighed and tabulated again on its way out. Our early numbers show we have distributed more than 120,000 lbs. of foods, diapers, and personal care items. The next few days and weeks will be interested. Houston is nowhere near being able to assess the storm damage. Many people are still not able to get to their homes to see if flooding has occurred. Interstate 10, in a section between myself and the food pantry, is being kept dry by a portable berm over which water has been pumped. Many major streets and intersections are still underwater despite going several days now without rain. The statistic I saw recently was that Houston received 51" of raining a few days. Our average annual rainfall is 47”. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Sanchez Title A name given to the resource The Storm - Abandoned Description An account of the resource This image was possibly the hardest one that I took. The water was almost to my neck and it was hard to walk as I couldn't see the floor and feared that I would step in something dangerous or fall into something deeper. But I had to take a photo of this abandoned truck, as it was nearly completely consumed by the water. As I got closer, I noticed that the truck was completely empty from the inside. The open door signified that either the people inside had to quickly leave or someone else tried to rummage through it after the original owners left. Looking further inside, it's noticeable that nothing was left behind, besides some trash from fast food restaurants. This image makes me wonder about the situation that the people inside the truck were in. It makes me wonder whether they tried to escape the impending rain or they knew their truck was no longer savable. Either way, its a haunting reminder of the un-readiness that half of Houstonians faced in this unforgettable storm.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Sanchez Title A name given to the resource The Storm - Under The Bridge Description An account of the resource The water had gone down a fair amount for me to be able to use my high-tired truck to drive around a bit. Some stores had now reopened, with many people in line, seeking supplies. Though the water had cleared in most streets, some areas still remained flooded. In the corner of Crosstimbers and Hardy, where the entrance to 610 and 59 starts, still remained completely flooded. This area has always been infamous of getting flooded with even the smallest of rainfall. This was no different. It was possibly that the sewers were completely clogged, making the water remain. I parked my truck right at the edge of the street, walking as close to the water as I could to get a better image. While I was doing so, a police car came by, with two officers stepping out of the vehicle. I was afraid I wasn't suppose to be there, but they were actually there to see the flooding and take some photos as well. We all just wondered when the rain would go away. When we could back to our normal lives again.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Isaac Sanchez Title A name given to the resource The Storm - Entrance Way Description An account of the resource During the calm of the storm, I was able to go out of my house and walk around. Many of the roads were still flooded and it felt nearly impossible to walk in some parts. At one point, the water was up to my shoulders. As I walked, I stopped to take this photo. On the left, a red car had been abandoned, without the owners in sight. On the right, another car can be seen almost reaching the higher ground of the Whataburger parking lot, but being unable to. I personally feel that this image represents Houston as a whole during the storm as you can see the freeway entrance of 45 South, along with the Whataburger on the right, a well known burger joint in Texas. The stillness of the water shows that the worst was over with, but the damage that the storm had caused was still there. A hauntingly, beautiful scene to witness.

Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource KM and TG Title A name given to the resource Houston Strong Haiku Description An account of the resource The project reflected in this image and its haiku narration began during visits with a friend — an accomplished and published writer and distinguished scholar. Isolated and ravaged by treatment of his ultimately fatal disease, his mind was nonetheless quick and deeply creative — always looking forward and able to anticipate and strategically meet change. We decided to undertake a project together and settled on creating something for the Harvey Project. This creation was motivated by our shared passion for recalling the experience of Harvey and understanding the complex dissonance in impact and, especially, in recovery from this hurricane. We decided to start with Haiku and later introduced images — we went back and forth and were in the midst of coming to closure when to my deep sorrow my friend passed away. Returning to this project after some time, with sadness and with longing, I think our common hope would be that the photos and words provide a captivating window into the experiences and the on-going impact of Harvey’s visit to Houston… Type The nature or genre of the resource poems Language A language of the resource en Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All rights reserved.
