Aerial footage of Rockport, TX before and after hurricane Harvey. The destruction down there is beyond belief. This is just a small area just outside of town to give a good idea of the destructive power of Harvey. I did not want to fly around Downtown Rockport as they have enough going on there already.

I rode this bad boy out. Someone had to stay home with the animals and being the oldest gave me the short straw. It got a bit hairy for hours on end but now that it is just a memory I'm glad I did. It was Mother Nature at her most ticked off ! I had a neighbor across the street that rode it out as well. We signaled each other with flashlights and came out to meet in the street when the eye passed over. The thing that sucks about the eye passing over is that you know that you still have another half of the storm coming at you. And wouldn't you know it? As soon as the storm moved inland the looters came out. It takes a real piece of crap to steal from people who lost most everything that they spent a lifetime working for only to have it all blown away in 48 hours, Thank GOD for local law enforcement and the National Guard. They came down the street about an hour or two before landfall so they knew I was there and came back to check on me after. Between me and the old cat across the street we were well armed and ran those freaking looters off in a heartbeat and had them arrested before they made it back to the main road. My daughters house is a doozy. We lost a few shingles and that was all. I don't think I will ride out another.

Building lots of stuff on very flat lands in hurricane-exposed coastlines can be a huge headache if a significant storm surge comes ashore.

This is actually Palm Harbor Subdivision between Rockport and Aransas Pass

That's what I was going to ask. It looks like City by the Sea. Just south of Rockport. I haven't been there for close to 30 years, so my recollections may be a little off.

I knew things were not going to end up well at the trailer park.

Not CBS...Crab 'n is your landmark there. This is Palm Harbor... gas for your boat etc with the rv section across back adjacent to little marina. Our family home is/was in CBS...

What's it look like now? How many of the houses are renovated?

@0hrange650 4 жыл бұрын

It’s still in progress because some of the buildings are waiting for Insurance money or ran out of money but it looks way better than before but most of the buildings or houses that are not done are in the other side of town

Looks like a tornado went through it.

Hurricane Harvey was strong and stayed around an unusually long time and produced very many tornadoes. It was a long night...noisey from 7pm till 7am...only quiet for a short time here where the edge of the eye went by {near the crossroads of 188 and 1069. We're on 10 acres of broken-up trees, still a mess
