From KUT:
Monday marks five months since Hurricane Harvey hit Port Aransas, and while there’s been real progress on the cleanup, the island town still has a ways to go.
Just a few days after the storm, home inspector James Pate was optimistic about his hometown’s future.
“We’re in good shape,” he said in August while cleaning his lawn. “It’s just going to be a long process. And if everybody works together, we’ll make this town stronger than it ever was.”
