Hurricane Harvey hit 5 years ago. Here's a look back and where we are now
It’s been five years since the remnants of Hurricane Harvey hit Houston, dumping feet of rain on the city and causing widespread flooding. Though progress has been made in those years, some of the damage still remains.
If you lived in Houston in Aug. 2017, you probably remember where you were when Harvey rolled in. It made landfall in Rockport two days before it crept up to Houston and hovered over the city.
By the time the storm moved out, it had dumped more than 50 inches of rain in parts of Harris County, which is equivalent to about a trillion gallons of water. Harvey claimed 36 lives in Harris County and three each in Montgomery, Galveston and Fort Bend counties. More than 300,000 buildings took a hit along with up to half a million vehicles.
