Harry - In Hubbard's Waveland Hardware


Harry was standing in line with me. He is from India. He was telling me about his visit to see a friend in Attleboro, Mass.

He must be a regular at Hubbards, because he greeted David and was having an animated conversation.

Harry's friend was at home when Hurricane Katrina struck. As the water rose, he went to the second floor, and then to the attic. He finally crawled out the attic window and swam from tree-to-tree and over to the safety of the third floor window of a neighbor's house.

Harry's own house had 2 feet of water.
