Reader Comments: "I had to stop reading at least twice to regain composure.""I love this book! I think it's a brave and touching work.""I definitely cried more than once. It's amazing how many people were helping, during Harvey."We knew it would be bad, but there are levels of bad. There was no scale that could have measured this one. Residents listened as 130 mile per hour winds tore away their roofs and struggled to stay alive as water crept into their homes, threatening to drown people in their own living rooms. When the winds died, and the rain finally stopped, the streets were only navigable by boat.The death toll rose to over seventy and more than 1,000,000 cars flooded with an estimate of $100 billion in destruction. How does a community, a city, a state survive when hit by a monster storm and then have every square inch covered by over four feet of water? A storm which can only be described as a 1,000 year flooding event, worse than Hurricane Katrina, and broke all historical records.Live though one man's experience as the world grew more and more uncertain. Experience through the medium of social media, the day by day visceral experience of watching people's lives permanently altered, and the heart-filling moments when strangers, neighbors, and friends stepped up and helped those in trouble. Watch as needs are met, lives preserved, and hope restored in the two months following Harvey.

Terry R. Hill, a Texas native, and always looking to maximize what life has to offer, Terry has found himself singing on stage, helping to house the less fortunate, skydiving, hammering away at the Berlin Wall, wearing space suits, ice swimming in Finland in the dead of winter, bathing in the hot springs of Japan, and forging into the unknown as a parent. Terry was trained as an aerospace engineer and has worked for NASA since 1997 with a very satisfying career as an engineer and project manager spanning the Shuttle, ISS, X-38, OSP and Constellation programs including ten years of space suit design, to mitigating the health effects of space on astronauts. While supporting the human space program has been a lifetime passion, writing of different worlds, alternate futures and the human condition has filled his spare time. Life is too short to let opportunities pass by since there is only one opportunity to ride. But mostly, it's all about the people in our everyday as we experience this thing we call Life.
