On August 1st I lined up the first four weeks of clothes for the semester.
On August 26th Hurricane Harvey hit the Texas coast. We were on the dirty side of the storm so Houston and its surroundings received around 50 inches of water. The west and north sides of Houston were particularly hit hard with intermittent damage to the south in Dickinson, Texas City, and Friendswood. The college postponed opening for two weeks.
I received emails from students who were in Red Cross shelters wanting to start the semester in order to have something positive in their lives. Tremendous excitement greeted everyone on the first of class, ironically on September 11th.
