Here's a sampling of Wisconsin connections to Hurricane Harvey. We'll keep updating the story as the week goes on:</p><h3 class="presto-h3"></h3><h3 class="presto-h3"></h3><h3 class="presto-h3"><strong>"Our team is really dedicated"</strong></h3><p class="p-text">For Yi-Chin Lee, a former photographer for the Manitowoc Herald Times Reporter and now a photographer at the Houston Chronicle, there's one family that she's still thinking about. </p><p class="p-text">As she and a colleague arrived at one of the shelters, they ran into the evacuees from a Dickinson, Texas nursing home, where photos of their patients floating in waist-deep water went viral. There was a mother-daughter pair that both worked there who were unsure whether the rest of their family at their home was safe. </p><p class="p-text">"That's something I've been wondering these past few days, I don't know if they reunited," Lee said. </p><div class="partner-placement partner-spike"></div><p class="p-text">While traveling around Galveston taking photos of the devastation from Hurricane Harvey and meeting other people, Lee said she and her colleagues are especially grateful for newsrooms nationwide that have sent meals to their Houston newsroom.</p><p class="p-text">"The Washington Post bought us donuts yesterday, today we got a care package from the Orlando Sentinel, we got lunch from the Dallas Morning News," Lee said. "It's really heartwarming to see how other newsrooms are supporting journalists..."</p><p class="p-text">Reporters and editors have been walking through high water to get to stories or to the newsroom. Her supervisor even slept in the newsroom a few nights. </p><p class="p-text">"It's a really dedicated team here... because we really care," she said.</p><div class="partner-outstream"></div><h3 class="presto-h3"><strong>'It will take years to rebuild once again'</strong></h3><p class="p-text">Menasha High School graduate Shannon Burns hasn't experienced a natural disaster on Harvey's level from the ground, but she remembers the feeling she had flying above Hurricane Ike in 2008 with the Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunters.</p><p class="p-text">"Watching Ike from 10,000 feet was emotionally painful, knowing the explosive power of a strong hurricane," Burns, who lives near Houston, wrote in an email to USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin. "Ike destroyed Houston and the surrounding areas in 2008 — it took years to rebuild. It will take years to rebuild once again."</p><p class="p-text">Thankfully, the 35-year-old aircraft dispatcher and her family are safe. They went to a friend's home on higher ground for 24 hours during a power outage over the weekend. Water came to their garage and front plant bed, but caused no damage. </p><p class="p-text">Galveston County did not issue evacuation orders for League City, where Burns lives, only for the county's coastal cities, she said. </p><p class="p-text"><span class="exclude-from-newsgate"><strong>RELATED</strong><span style="background-color: rgb(226, 226, 226);">: </span><a href="/story/news/2017/08/30/harvey-flood-victim-local-ties-tells-tragedy-hope/611947001/">Harvey flood victim, a former Fond du Lac resident, tells of tragedy, hope</a></span></p><p class="p-text">"We were told to stay in place ... Houston has 7 million people, and its extremely difficult to evacuate that amount of people in 24-48 hours. Hurricane Rita killed ... <a href="http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/08/28/546721363/why-didn-t-officials-order-the-evacuation-of-houston">people on the highway</a> during the evacuation process," she remembered. </p><p class="p-text">With two small children, the family was going a bit stir crazy, but otherwise she described the atmosphere in the community as "excellent."</p><p class="p-text">"Texans of all socioeconomic statuses stepping up to get other Texans out of danger," she said. "Friends with lifted Jeeps and trucks are making store runs for neighbors or bringing total strangers home from the hospital after being discharged. People with boats are rescuing others stranded in their flooded homes."</p><h3 class="presto-h3"><strong>Stranded in Dallas</strong></h3><p class="p-text">Kaukauna native Rachel Leigh Sousek, 30, lives in Atascocita, Texas, about 25 miles northeast of Houston. She and her 3-year-old son, Fletcher Duke, were on their way back to Houston when the storm came through and stranded them in Dallas.  </p><p class="p-text">Her husband, Sgt. First Class Derek Sousek of the National Guard, was at home when the storm hit, and has been giving her updates. As of Wednesday, their home had lost power for a few hours, but otherwise had not sustained any damage.</p><p class="p-text">"Just a few miles from us is a totally different story," she wrote in a Facebook message to USA TODAY NETWORK-Wisconsin. </p><div id="module-position-QpHH4WR0Tzo" class="story-asset image-asset"><aside itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="wide single-photo"><img itemprop="url" src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/20cf97463e958e9fef120499f5a96abb9d18de5d/c=40-0-1294-943&amp;r=x408&amp;c=540x405/local/-/media/2017/08/30/WIGroup/Appleton/636397067436624060-Souser-1.jpg" alt="Rachel Leigh Sousek, left, SFC Derek Sousek and their" width="540" height="405" data-mycapture-src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/media/2017/08/30/WIGroup/Appleton/636397067436624060-Souser-1.jpg"

She has heard reports of a bridge collapse nearby, sink holes, a chemical spill and looting. </p><p class="p-text">Her husband's National Guard unit was activated, but he hasn't been able to get out of the city. Instead, he's gone through the family's house to see what can be donated to those in need. SFC Sousek is 20-year member of the National Guard who has been deployed twice and helped in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. </p><p class="p-text">One of the most frustrating things for Sousek has been reading comments from people chastising residents for not evacuating. </p><p class="p-text">"It's so easy for someone up there to say what they would've done while sitting on their couch and watching CNN," she said. "We don't need that — we need people who want to help."</p><p class="p-text">But most importantly, Sousek said she's thankful she and her family are safe.</p><p class="p-text">"Our home is our dream home, and (Derek) has worked really hard for what we have, but none of that matters as long as we are all breathing," she said. </p><h3 class="presto-h3"><strong>Leaving home behind</strong></h3><p class="p-text">Harvey is the first major storm 30-year-old Brei Carpenter has faced since she moved to Texas in 2014, said her mother, Ruby Kleinschmidt. </p><p class="p-text">Despite neighbors who told her she could ride it out in her Dickinson, Texas, home, the Menasha High School graduate left with her two children and pets. She's staying with a family friend in San Antonio. Her husband was traveling for work in Louisiana when the storm hit.</p><p class="p-text">"First she was going to stay. Her neighbor was like, 'They're just trying to scare you,'" Kleinschmidt said. "I just said, 'Get out of there.'"</p><p class="p-text">While she and her children are safe, their home has suffered significant damage. A neighbor checked and reported the home was flooded with three to five feet of water.</p><p class="p-text">It borders the bayou and has a dock that goes out into the water, which presents another set of challenges.</p><p class="p-text">"Besides the concern of losing everything in her house, she also has to worry about venomous snakes and alligators getting in," Kleinschmidt said. </p><p class="p-text">Despite the unknown, Carpenter is doing OK. She stocked up on nonperishable food, diapers and wipes for her 1-year-old, pet food and more before the storm. </p><p class="p-text">"She's holding up really well," Kleinschmidt said. </p><h3 class="presto-h3"><strong>Helplessness before action</strong></h3><p class="p-text">As sirens wailed past his apartment outside of Houston, Jordan Frechette said he felt helpless. </p><p class="p-text">"It's eerie just sitting here waiting," he said. </p><p class="p-text">The 23-year-old Appleton North alum moved to Texas three years ago for a change of scenery. He is a personal trainer who manages a gym in one of Houston's northwest suburbs. </p><p class="p-text">Frechette and his girlfriend, fellow Appleton North graduate Bryanna Martinez, weren't aware of the storm until Aug. 24, and once they heard it was headed their way, they didn't waste any time.</p><p class="p-text">"We really didn't even know about the storm until Thursday evening. We actually went out and got supplies. Everyone was freaking out and asking us questions about it — it happened really fast," he said. </p><p class="p-text">The pair were stranded for several days in their third floor apartment because the gates of their apartment complex were flooded.</p><p class="p-text">The water started to recede on Tuesday, and Frechette and Martinez planned to visit a nearby church to drop off clothes and supplies. They also hoped to volunteer.  </p><p class="p-text">"Hopefully they just need some extra hands. We don't have a boat or anything like that. We're hoping to help," he said. "It's weird because being safe is good and everything, but it's hard to sit at home when you know a lot of other people are going through some things."</p><h3 class="presto-h3"><strong>'Blown away' by community support</strong></h3><p class="p-text">Madison native and Houston area journalist L.M. Sixel said she's been blown away by the amount of community support coming out since Hurricane Harvey hit over the weekend.</p><p class="p-text">While her home no longer has water inside of it, her neighbors, friends and coworkers have been supporting each other and checking in as the storm continues. It's the same type of support you'd see in Wisconsin or other places in the Midwest, she said. </p><p class="p-text">"The first call we got on early Monday morning was from my son's Boy Scout leader asking if we needed to get rescued," Sixel said by phone from her Houston home. "He'd come down with his kayak to come get us."</p><p class="p-text">Other neighbors in two-story homes offered to take them in if needed, but "our destruction is nothing like it is in other parts of the city," she said. </p><h3 class="presto-h3"><strong>'It kind of restores your faith.'</strong></h3><p class="p-text">The nights in Houston are now so dark, the sitting water an inky black. </p><p class="p-text">“You don’t know what’s underneath (the water),” said Polly Looper, a former police officer from the Fox Valley who moved to Texas more than a decade ago.</p><p class="p-text">Those are the toughest hours. She has weathered some tough storms since the move but nothing to this level, she said. </p><p class="p-text">So far her family and their neighbors have been lucky. Their house hasn’t taken on any water and their electricity remained on Tuesday afternoon. There are 2 ½ feet of water in the street, she said. She noted the sound of airboats behind her house.</p><p class="p-text">Miles from her family’s house north of Houston, homes’ first floors are submerged. The family’s elementary school is under water, she said.</p><p class="p-text">How have the last few days been? Stressful.</p><p class="p-text">“As a former officer it’s hard because my heart is in helping people,” she said. “And my son will turn 5 on Tuesday, and so it makes it hard because the biggest challenge is you’re torn because you feel like you need to do something and you’re not sure what to do and where to be and how to help.”</p><p class="p-text">She’s seen people helping each other – and she’s been in there with them. Residents are pulling each other out of the water. </p><p class="p-text">“It is very humbling to see people come together and it kind of restores your faith,” Looper said. </p><p class="p-text">She’s collecting school supplies for children in hopes of helping ease the transition after such an event. She’s looking for backpacks, pens, pencils, notebooks, crayons, colored pencils, Ziploc bags to put those things in. Any funds, including online gift cards and donations through PayPal will be used to buy supplies. Her email address is polpocket@gmail.com. </p><div id="module-position-QpHH4WR-QYE" class="story-asset image-asset"><aside itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="wide single-photo"><img itemprop="url" src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/d0aff956506957dbbec92f849523d9644e2a4a66/c=285-0-2378-1574&amp;r=x408&amp;c=540x405/local/-/media/2017/08/30/WIGroup/Appleton/636396868576011629-ASBBrd-08-30-2017-PressOc-1-A002-2017-08-29-IMG-Harvey-2-1-F0JFIHPO-L1089270592-IMG-Harvey-2-1-F0JFIHPO.jpg" alt="Residents wade through floodwaters as they evacuate" width="540" height="405" data-mycapture-src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/media/2017/08/30/WIGroup/Appleton/636396868576011629-ASBBrd-08-30-2017-PressOc-1-A002-2017-08-29-IMG-Harvey-2-1-F0JFIHPO-L1089270592-IMG-Harvey-2-1-F0JFIHPO.jpg"
