<description>You've seen the pictures, the video. 100% you know Harvey was a nightmare for the people of Houston. Homes: flooded! Cars: flooded! The 4th largest city in the country: flooded! But the images, the stories shared from those hellish days-- all of that was being documented as people were evacuating their homes.  What was it like during the wait for help?  What was it like to be trapped in an attic... for 16 hours... with an autistic child?  What was it like to be stuck in a space that has no windows, no way to connect with the outside world? What's it like to pray to God in pitch black as rain beats down overhead?  With a relentless storm swirling above, could God, let alone a neighbor, hear your screams for help?

Elaine Maxwell will tell you what it's like.  IN DETAIL.  If you really want to know what life if truly like for some people after Harvey, I invite you to press play.  She is the backstory of #HoustonStrong #DickinsonStrong... Elaine is strong, because she lived it and is able to share it.</description>

Harvey, An Attic & the 16 Hours That Forever Changed One Woman

<description>Married 36 years, Larry &amp; Jackie Sklar are empty-nesters who live on a corner lot in Meyerland.  It's a Houston neighborhood notorious for flooding. In 2017, as Harvey began to dump inch after inch of rain, Meyerland flooded- but the Sklar's home did not.  I 100% think it was divine intervention.  After hearing their conversation, you may too - because what happened during those first hours of that historic flood was orchestrated by something much greater than any of us.  This is the never-before-told story of how one couple helped the very first people pulled from flood waters.  It's the story of kindness, compassion and community.  It's the living, breathing example of "love thy neighbor as thy self."  It's #HoustonStrong</description>
