Port A has been my home away from home for almost 30 years. This was taken one month ago as we began our 2 week stay. Today Port A is under a mandatory evacuation order as Hurricane Harvey approaches.. My thoughts and prayers go out to the wonderful residents of Port A, Mustang Island, and the rest of the Coastal Bend.
