The top local stories this evening from KERA News:
Hurricane Harvey, and the devastating rainfall that came with it, changed hundreds of thousands of people's lives. Some lost loved ones, while others watched the floodwaters invade their homes. Thousands of families were displaced, and some landed in North Texas.
Three and a half months after the storm, more than a hundred of those families have decided to stay. Courtney Collins has the story of a woman who’s been through this before, 12 years ago, after Hurricane Katrina.
