Hurricanes Harvey, and Irma are immediate threats to life and limb, but what happens after the danger is gone, and the news crews have departed?  Recovery is long and energy zapping.  But there are people out there who put their lives on hold to quietly help rebuild the stricken communities.  

On December 26, 2015, a storm thrashed the eastern Dallas,TX suburb of Rowlett, spawning tornadoes that killed 13 people, and severely damaged hundreds of homes.  More than a year and a half after that hellish night, the communities are still not fully recovered.  In this episode we look at one man trying to put things back together. Steve Huston has been slowly helping get other volunteers to make Rowlett whole.  He has gone from  the Katrina disaster to the Missouri flooding disaster, and now he says Hurricane Harvey victims will soon be getting his relief.  

Gettingby-The Podcast has made many attempts to contact the homeowner mentioned in this story...both in person, and by phone, but we have been unsuccessful.  That is fine because this is the story of Steve Huston.
