I watched from afar as my beloved hometown drowned in the fierce waters of Hurricane Harvey. I watched my high school flood, my town’s post office fill with water, my church’s temple slowly submerge. The first was Hurricane Alecia in 1983 and the second was Hurricane Ike in 2008. Hurricane Harvey dumped 131.7 cm of rain on Houston in just six days. Sarah Lopez is donating 100% of every purchase at her Etsy shop “Scandalous Scarf” in the month of September to Houston families suffering from Hurricane Harvey.
