This Woman’s Flooded Store Looks Brand New After She Refused To Give Up Hope

Just a few days ago, Hanh Nguyen was waist-deep in water.

The water started rising at her store, Marie’s Seafood in Port Arthur, Texas, on Tuesday — the day that tropical storm Harvey dumped 26 inches of rain on the city, triggering flash flooding and causing thousands to evacuate.

HuffPost visited Nguyen’s store on Thursday, when the water was still up to her calves. She said she’s owned the place — which sells seafood and other food items — since 1999, and she has no flood insurance.

But Nguyen has not given up. She, her family and store workers were already tirelessly cleaning the place, using mops, towels, whatever they could find.

When we came back on Saturday afternoon — a day we saw no other open businesses in the immediate area — Marie’s Seafood looked as if nothing had ever happened. Customers had already started returning.

Employees said they worked tirelessly over the past three days to return the store to normal and serve the community. 

Joy-Anna Duggar announces pregnancy with baby bump photo

Another Duggar baby is on the way!
Joy-Anna Duggar, who wed Austin Forsyth earlier this summer, is already pregnant with her first child, the two announced Wednesday. Things are certainly moving quickly for the young couple: The two tied the knot in May, less than three months after they got engaged -- but they're nothing but excited.

“We’re so happy and thankful to announce that we’re expecting a baby!” Joy-Anna told People. “Every child is such a precious gift from God. I’m most looking forward to watching Austin as a dad and raising children together with him.”
Duggar and Forsyth married in Arkansas in front of family and friends before jetting off to Switzerland for their honeymoon. Not long later, they made their way to Israel to celebrate their first month as a married couple.
“I’m really looking forward to the journey of this pregnancy and all the different stages it will bring,” Forsyth said. “It’s really exciting and I feel so blessed to be a dad! We are beyond thankful!”
The "Counting On" star's rapid moves from fiance to wife to mother is nothing new for the Duggar family, where most of Joy-Anna's older siblings are already married with young children. Older brother Joseph is next in line for a family celebration -- he got engaged to Kendra Caldwell at Joy-Anna's nuptials after a few months of courting.

Neighbors Arrested, Newborn Baby Found Days After Woman, 22, Vanished While 8 Months Pregnant

The investigation into the disappearance of a young pregnant woman in North Dakota has led to a startling discovery.

Five days into their search for 22-year-old Savanna LaFontaine-Greywind, investigators reportedly found a newborn baby in her North Fargo apartment building on Thursday.

Family members told reporters the 2-day-old baby was healthy but taken to a hospital for tests. Police have not said conclusively whether the girl is LaFontaine-Greywind’s, though "our investigation thus far indicates the probability that this is Savanna Greywind’s child," they wrote in a statement.

The young woman remains missing.

"We do not have information that tells us where Savanna Greywind is," Fargo Chief of Police David Todd said in a Facebook video Thursday.

Todd said the baby was discovered while investigators executed a search warrant at "the suspects'" residence.

Those suspects have been identified as William Hoehn and Brooke Crews, who live in the same building as LaFontaine-Greywind.

Hoehn, 32, and Crews, 38, were detained and taken to the police department for interviews by detectives.

As further information was developed and evidence obtained, Hoehn and Crews were both arrested and charged with class A Felony Conspiracy to Commit Kidnapping.

Still, police said their investigation into the strange case continues.
