HUMBLE, TEXAS – It was late August, Hurricane Harvey had already made landfall in Houston, and Travis Shahan, general manager of the Best Buy store in Humble, thought things were going to be fine.
Located on the north side of the Houston area near Bush Intercontinental Airport, the Humble store had always been safe from flooding. In the middle of the night, however, Travis got a call from the alarm company that serves the store. The motion detectors had gone off, but nobody was in the store.
