The Houston pastor has become an Internet sensation after his performance in the flood waters went viral.
A video of a man playing the piano in his flooded home has gone viral. Houston Pastor Aric Harding returned to his home following the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and recorded a video of himself playing the piano, in floodwaters almost as high as the stool.
The video has received more than 21,000 views on Instagram, where it was first posted, but has since made news across the USA and internationally.
“I went back to our street today because as you guys have probably seen the water has come back with a vengeance,” he wrote in the video’s caption. “I hope this was its high point. I grabbed the kids’ favourite stuffed animals that we had left behind and a couple of games to keep the kids occupied.”
The video has since become a symbol of resilience in the wake of the tropical storm that displaced tens of thousands of people and left at least 47 people dead.
“I think it’s all finally sinking in a little,” said Harding. “What we used to have going as a city is gone. I really think God is going to do something completely new here. I am excited to see the new beauty in the suffering.”
