<p>Nothing is more frightening than having to withstand an act from Mother Nature, especially when you don&#8217;t know how your family will do in the storm. This is what happened for me during Hurricane Harvey, at least.</p>
<p>As part of my work&#8217;s Emergency Management Team, I was required to show up to work and stay for the full duration of the storm&#8211;Before, during and after&#8211;to ensure that evacuees made it out of the city safely. This wasn&#8217;t a problem, I wasn&#8217;t afraid of the work. I was afraid that my family would be affected and I wouldn&#8217;t be able to do anything for them during this time.</p>
<p>Both my mom and step-dad are military vets and survived a lot. That being said, I was worried for their health in terms of so much flooding, loss of electricity for days on end, and even if their house would still be standing after the Category 4 storm hit mere miles from their home. It was a nerve wracking time  and I still feel frazzled by it.</p>
<p>Whole aisles in stores were completely out of food because so many people scrambled to get supplied to ride out the storm. It looked like a ghost town.</p>
<p>We are so very fortunate that we made it out with minimal damages. It&#8217;s almost a guilty feeling to know that just miles from them people lost whole communities from this storm. It was a humbling experience. I hoped that this would teach people to be grateful for what they have but what I saw instead was complaining that tv programs were boring during the storm or that the days off weren&#8217;t very relaxing.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s a shame really. We worked very hard to make sure that everyone was out of the City safely or had a shelter to take them in. We still have been working and haven&#8217;t had a day off yet to return services to normal.</p>
<p>Praying for everyone, including several of our employees who are still working and haven&#8217;t missed a beat yet, who lost everything in this storm. Thank you for everyone who checked on us and offered us refuge. Your kind words mean everything.</p>
