Over the weekend, a Category 4 hurricane named Hurricane Harvey slammed Texas, United States. In some areas, there was rainfall up to 50 inches. This resulted in flooding which, along with winds gusting up to 95 km/h and tornadoes, absolutely devastated parts of the state. So far, at least 9 lives have been lost.
Since the natural disaster made landfall at Rockport, Texas, on August 26th, people have been sharing harrowing images online. Their stories range from tales of tragedy and sadness to rescue and generosity.
Following is a list of 10+ unbelievable photos from Hurricane Harvey, which were compiled by Bored Panda. Hopefully, they will provide insight as to how powerful nature is — and why mankind must adopt sustainable habits to prevent climate change from worsening (a phenomena scientists say exacerbated the natural disaster).
