www.musicalamerica.com: For the second time in less than two decades, the 17-block Houston theater district, the second largest in the country, has been severely damaged by flooding. Hurricane Harvey defied an elaborate system of flood gates designed to protect the underground facilities, and the Houston Grand Opera, Symphony, Ballet, and other, smaller organizations have been flooded.

Harvey definitely devastated many including my family. Being in Pittsburgh makes it feel so unreal and hard to believe that this kind of destruction is happening in my home. I am really grateful for the updates on my home state's condition even if the news is bad. What I find interesting about this article is that whenever the author mentions the current situation of the theater he never fails to mention the theater experienced the exact same destruction from a hurricane in 2001. There is something reassuring in the fact that the theater has been through this before and helps me believe that not just this opera house but the entire state will be able to get through the devastation from this hurricane as well.
