Latest report from my son:
His internship employer, a small physical therapy and podiatry practice about 20 miles from downtown Houston, reopened today, and he was able to drive to work without encountering serious evidence of flooding. His coworkers all live in newer houses, which were built on raised crawl spaces atop raised building pads, which protected them from the fate suffered by slab-on-grade houses (not a great idea if you live in a floodplain). The zoo is reopening tomorrow, and Rice U. is reopening for classes on Tuesday, after the Labor Day holiday weekend.
The city's ability to resume normal operations will be helpful to those who have suffered tremendous losses, people who will be needing assistance for years to come. Let us not forget those for whom Harvey is really NOT over.
