14. My oldest and I were in Walt Disney World during Harvey

Tue Jun 16, 2026, 03:49 PM

Tuesday

Harvey was a tropical storm when he flew out and by the time we got to the hotel it was a hurricane. We could not get back to Houston for almost a week. We followed Harvey on the Weather Channel and a website called Space City. We were on the first plane out of Orlando and were one of the first plane back in Houston (the airport parking garage was nearly empty and so we had no trouble finding the car). We had no water damage or flooding at either house. All of the access roads and places on the freeway had drained by the time we got home.

We are getting some water but this does not look too bad
