Victoria residents still struggling a month after Harvey, FEMA denials

Megan Driver is trying to get back her life after Harvey destroyed her Bloomington home.

"It was the whole roof. You can look through my roof, and it's like a sunroof; you can see straight to the sky," the 25-year-old said. "The rain ruined everything. And when we went back to the house, the mold started coming in."

She had lived at the house for three years with her mother and boyfriend, who is a Port Lavaca police officer. The missing roof caused damage to the living room, kitchen, the cat room, the laundry room and her garage.

More than a month has passed since Hurricane Harvey made landfall. Many Crossroads residents, though, are finding that recovery will take months or even years.
