                        <span class="paragraph-0"><p>Aitkin native Joanna Jackson, 34, and her husband, Mark, live in Pflugerville, Texas, northeast of Austin. They were among the thousands affected by Hurricane Harvey, which made landfall in Texas on Aug. 25 as a Category 4 hurricane. Joanna is the daughter of Aitkin residents Steve and Jodi Olson, owners of Ole’s Acres, where she was born and raised.</p></span>
                        
                            </span>
                            
                        
                    
                        
                
                    
                    
                    
                        
                        <span class="paragraph-1"><p>“Where I live, there isn’t much damage, just a few trees down and power out,” Joanna said.</p></span>
                        
                    
                        
                
                    
                    
                    <p>The Jackson’s businesses are another story, Joanna said. The couple owned three physical training schools. Two of the buildings they rented were completely destroyed, and those schools were shut down. Because of the devastation to the area, Joanna doesn’t think they will continue business. The couple is hoping their remaining school will make it.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>“Personally my heart breaks,” Joanna said. “We just lost our business and others have lost everything.”</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <h3>Rescues</h3>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>When the flooding first occurred, Mark was among a group of volunteers who loaded up their trucks and boats and headed to Cypress, Texas for two days to do rescues.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>“He would be in his boat in the Houston area and realize that he was floating over a house. The currents were bad. A boat got sucked under a bridge,” Joanna said.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Police and the National Guard patrol damage areas, and curfews are in place. “There’s looting everywhere now. Mark went down to help someone pick up their house and people were just going from house to house and picking through what ever they wanted from people’s belongings,” Joanna said.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Down power lines pose danger of electrocution in the water, and Joanna said residents are warned of snakes and gators lurking in the flood water.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <h3>Storm damage</h3>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Joanna’s best friend in Orange County, Texas, lost their farm to flooding. Others have 10 ft. of water in their homes and the stench from sewage flooding is awful, Joanna described. Most of her friends were able to evacuate.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>“In the coastal town of Rockport everything is flat. It’s just gone. There is nothing. Rubble. You would think it was junk pile, and then you’ll realize it was a house once,” she continued.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Joanna was proud and appreciative that President Donald Trump visited Rockport, Texas. “Trump went right to where the eye was first. He did not need to go to Houston. It would have caused too many problems while rescues were still going on. Plus, it showed Rockport that they were not forgotten. Everyone focuses on Houston. Yes they got flooded and that is awful, but Rockport got the wind.” She added, “As for the protesters, they should have been going to help their neighbors instead of going to make a fuss.”</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>In many of the smaller towns, semis are not able to reach residents to deliver much needed supplies and food. “The grocery stores got hit and those places can’t even get food,” Joanna said.  </p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <h3>Shelter</h3>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Joanna wasted no time answering the call to help those in need. She began volunteering at the Red Cross mega shelter in Austin.  </p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>“People come into the shelter with bags of their stuff and realize that is all they have left,” she said. “A lot of them are from Rockport where the original evacuations took place. People in the shelter will probably be there for weeks, if not months. Then, they will be placed in FEMA trailers, much like during Hurricane Katrina,” Joanna said. “It’s not a permanent living situation.”</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>In 2005, Joanna volunteered in St. Bernard Parish, Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina devastated the area. When her mother and sister returned to the Parish one year later to volunteer with the non-profit organization Samaritan’s Purse, they said the devastation was still there. “Katrina caused $150 billion in damage. Harvey has caused $190 billion in damage and ruined 250,000 homes,” Joanna said.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <h3>Help from her hometown</h3>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>While volunteering at the shelter in Austin, Joanna met a 30-year-old man named Jose Villa. Jose stood out to Joanna because he was wearing a Minnesota Gophers sweatshirt. “Seeing the Minnesota shirt kind of made a connection,” Joanna said.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>It turned out Jose had been accepted into the architect program at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. He was staying at his parents home eight miles from the coast in Clute, Texas over the summer while working to save money for school.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>On Thursday, Aug. 24, Jose helped his parents patch the roof of their home because it was going to rain over the weekend. That day the strong winds caused a large tree to fall on their fence.  </p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>“I heard there was going to be a tropical storm that may turn into a hurricane. I thought it would be a category 3, no biggie. Thought we may have rain and some winds,” Jose said. “Throughout that week I was at work and not paying attention to the news.”</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Because of the hurricane he and his family had been evacuated on Friday, Aug. 25. The roof of his parents’ home was reportedly damaged, all but one of their vehicles were totaled, and Jose was unable to return home to gather any of his belongings because the roads were closed.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>He had been at the Austin mega shelter with his family for a week, and another shelter prior to that. The fall semester was approaching quickly, and he did not know if he would be able to return to school.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>“That’s when I went into help mode and started posting on Facebook,” Joanna said.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Joanna’s posts caught the attention of Southwest Airlines, who waived Jose’s flight cost. He arrived in Minnesota on Sept. 4 with only the clothes on his back.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>“I was very appreciative for Joanna helping me,” Jose said. “Thanks to everyone who helped me get up here. Especially to Southwest Airlines and Gary Kelly, the chairman and CEO of Southwest Airlines, and to everyone else that pitched in to help me get here. Also to the people of Minnesota.”   </p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Since all Jose’s belongings were left in Texas, Joanna called on her hometown of Aitkin to help her new friend. Members from the New Life Church in Aitkin rallied to donate school supplies and other necessities to Jose in his time of need.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>“My heart is still down there. I think about my family,” said Jose. “But my mind is all the way here. I am worried about classes and how I am going to do all this work.”</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>He is unsure if his instructors are aware of his situation, but said he doesn’t feel he should have special treatment. Jose has been adjusting the best way he can without any supplies or books. He’s currently looking for student jobs, but will only be able to work a few hours a week with his intense class schedule.   </p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>A PayPal account is set up for those who would like to help donate to Jose and his family. The email address attached to the account is <a href="mailto:josevilla0817@gmail.com">josevilla0817@gmail.com</a>. He is still in need of a laptop or desktop, a math book and supply kit for architecture class.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>“This will help him be able to buy food and supplies while he is in Minnesota, along with being able to help his family out. The last we talked his dad was still on standby to be able to go back to work. Things are not normal down here for many. They have no homes to go to along with many businesses closing, causing loss of jobs,” Joanna said.</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Those who continue to struggle in the aftermath of Hurricane Harvey do so with tenacity, Joanna said, adding, “That is the one thing about Texans, you can’t bring them down. It’s the sense that ‘We got this, we’re going to come back from this stronger.’”</p>
                    
                    
                
                    
                    
                    <p>Joanna added with tears, “I love my hometown. They are exactly who I thought they were. I asked for help and that’s what they did.”</p>
