On August 25th, 2017, Hurricane Harvey made landfall 30 miles Northwest of Corpus Christi, Texas as a category 4 storm. It was the first major hurricane to strike the United States coast since 2005, and would bring record-setting rain and devastating flooding to an area the size of Maryland. By the end, more than a thousand homes were destroyed, and 107 people lay dead. It would be a storm the people of Texas would never forget.

I can't believe I could be so stupid. What in the world was I thinking? I shouldn't have stayed. What? Did I think that the hurricane wouldn't dare touch me because this trailer was all I had left now that mom was gone?
I should have listened to Kyle. Gotten out while I still had the chance. The news was saying this was bad. Real bad. And it was only getting worse. Hurricane Harvey wasn't going anywhere. Inch by inch the world was being pulled underwater.
And I was the idiot out in the thick of it, out in the middle of nowhere, my nearest neighbor a mile away.
I had been scared. That was what had kept me here. Fear. Fear that if I had gone to Kyle, a man I haven't even met in person yet, that the fantasy we'd come to believe about us, about our love, would shatter. I wasn't sure I could handle that.
Well, I should have faced my fears. Anything would have been better than this nightmare.
Because where I am, even Kyle can't help me now.
If only the rain would stop...
