ROCKPORT, Texas – Homeowners in Rockport are returning to debris and devastation that Hurricane Harvey left behind.
For one family, who lost almost everything, they said an item that symbolized their faith was not even touched.
Winds of 130-plus mph from the Category 4 storm tore the roof off and ripped the walls apart, however, the family’s cross remained.
