Remembering Harvey

Vessel sank at mouth of ship channel, Port Aransas.

Destroyed by the storm, Bayside-Richardson gin is getting ready for a new season.

Still no certain final count of lost livestock across dozens of Texas counties.

Across roadway from Bayside gin, stack of cotton bales were blown across the landscape.

Cattle losses alone skyrocketed as animals drowned or became entangled in debris and fences.

A profitable cotton year was in progress as Harvey made landfall. Farmers are hoping for a better year.

Then: destroyed cotton fields stripped of fiber. NOW: hope is in the air.

Almost all power has finally been restored across coastal Texas, but construction and replacement continues in some areas.

Roads are still being repaired or replaced across rural coastal Texas.

Some have rebuilt with the new while others await complicated insurance claims.

Signs of recovery for many.

Cleanup of damaged homes and outbuildings improve quality of life.

Where farm equipment was parked on high ground, the summer season has dried fields and left many wanting for water.

Rockport-Fulton Restaurant may be gone for good.

Some homes and historic building still waiting for funds.

Recovery is (also) for the birds and other wildlife of the Coastal Bend.
