<div itemprop="articleBody">
	<p>A Cochrane family living on the west side of Houston in Katy, Texas is feeling incredibly grateful.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Memories of the 2013 Calgary flood come&nbsp;flooding back for the Bruder family, who is once again&nbsp;thankful to have a dry home. The Bruder's live in a subdivision called Cinco Ranch of Katy which has good flood mitigation in place in&nbsp;comparison to other areas.</p>
<p>Shana Bruder has been living in Texas for the past few years and says the extent of damage varied depending on where people were situated.&nbsp;"There is a large group of Canadians we keep in touch with through Facebook that live all over the greater Houston area and Katy area; for the most part we're all dry but there are quite a few people&nbsp;who have water in their homes anywhere from an inch up to four feet. It just really varies on whereabouts you are. Houston has a lot of bayous that are used for flood mitigation, some of them did breach their banks, and a lot of them didn't."</p>
<p>While the Houston area is no stranger to extreme weather, no one was prepared for the pattern of Harvey. "We were prepared in the fact that we've been through so many hurricanes before, but not the fact that this hurricane stopped over top. Most hurricanes&nbsp;come in, hit land, and continue to go north; this one stopped and got stuck on a high-pressure ridge and sat over top of the greater Houston area along the coast for two more days than any other hurricane ever has. I don't think the quantity of rain that came down in the short period of time was anticipated, they figured 24 inches and we&nbsp;ended up with closer to 50 in certain areas."</p>
<p>Heartwarming is the only word that describes&nbsp;the amazing humanitarian efforts&nbsp;of neighbours helping neighbours, Americans helping Canadians, everyone coming together&nbsp;to help out. "It doesn't matter who you are, what you do, what your pay cheque says everybody is helping each other&nbsp;out and it is outstanding."</p>
<p>Trying to figure out what is fact from fallacy can be difficult, shares Bruder. With a warning to not believe everything&nbsp;you see and hear especially on social media. "When you live here you have a good idea of what's real and what's not because you can tell by looking at things, you can look at things and say that's not truthful that's not where buildings are supposed to be. There is a picture of an airport saying the airport is underwater and it wasn't true, I knew by the background that's not Houston. But for people from outside the area, from different states or countries, and seeing this... it is hard for them to know. It's just being very cautious, it's bad here and if you are able to see pictures from most news outlets they're going to be real if you're seeing it because someone posted from their backyard take&nbsp;it with a grain of salt. Unless you've actually talked to someone that&nbsp;lives here who can verify, it is just dangerous to spread too much around."</p>
<p>With no idea of the extent/cost of damage, Bruder once again says be careful who you donate to. "American Red Cross is always a good start and looking at Houston Food Bank. Houston Food Bank is going to be a big one; people are going to have a real hard time getting food, their resources are going to go into getting a roof over their head. Helping out the American Red Cross and Food Bank will be a good place to start if you really want to donate money, be very wary of Go Fund Me Accounts.</p>
<p>Bruder, adds thankfully at this time there has been minimal fatalities reported but that could all change with receding water levels. With the sun shining down on the Houston area, Bruder says it is presumptuous to assume they are in the clear. "The amount of water that is going to be coming from northern parts of our state that will run into us because we are half way to the ocean and the water is trying to get to the ocean. The water levels could rise still slightly in certain areas and they're going to go down in other areas. We have two huge reservoirs that hold water and right now they are trying to manage the release of the water from those so they don't fail. They are concerned about some of the dams failing that release the water and it that happens it is catastrophic. There is still a lot of people in harm's way."</p>
<p>Not dwelling on the negative, Bruder, shares a final comment. "Being through the floods in Calgary, seeing how Albertans came together&nbsp;to help each other was very heartwarming and I am seeing it here. Canadians are stepping up to help Americans it doesn't matter where you're from everybody is coming together to help eachother...it is devastation but we're seeing the best of humanity right now."</p>
