Life along the coast

During my beach walk this morning, I thought about those living along of coast of Texas .

Ironically, Facebook Memories for today show my posts of our family evacuating prior to Hurricane Irene 6 year ago.  It was a mandatory evacuation, and especially stressful occurring during the busy summer season.

While thinking about the storms we’ve come to know on a first name basis (Gloria, Hugo, Bob, Irene, Sandy,  and even winter storm Jonas), our hearts are with others in similar (or as with Harvey, much worse) situations.

All beautiful coastal areas have their share of weather related risks.  But I can’t imagine living away from the water…
