(I can say that because I is one) – But seriously, I am a fellow Texan living in Victoria and have seen first hand how fast the community came together to help each other, how fast SO many others states came down to help us get our power & satellite TVs working again – how giving and kind everyone has been without care to race, religion, sex, or any other divide – and it is truly heartwarming. Local churches and organizations immediately came to the aid giving out water & ice, our local Mosque even gave out free cleaning supplies (which I thought was a great idea after going to the store to buy enough to clean up damage and seeing how much they cost!)
Kudos to your blog and you definitely hit the nail on the proverbial head – Texas can beat Harvey.

We look after our own.

Her morale is astounding.

People helping people, not people snarling about how no one is helping them. You go girl, and all the rest of Texas. This Coloradoan is very proud of you and your state.

A great overview of the storm. The especially loved the Carp rescue.

I can’t imagine living anywhere else.

My family lost everything in Katrina. Floodwaters over the roof. We evacuated to Baton Rouge where we ended living with a friend for 8 months. So many people said it was horrible that we lost everything, but we felt so blessed to still have our lives, our health, and our jobs. What angered us was all the people who said the area shouldn’t rebuild. From mid-LA to Mobile Bay??? We were thrilled to be able made a donation to Samaritan’s Purse for the people of Houston because Samaritan’s Purse were the ones who came around to us as we were mucking out our homes. They not only brought supplies we needed and fresh water, but asked how we were doing and took the time to listen while we talked. That was so important at that time. Just to have someone listen to what you were going through.

I have friends in Humble, TX who had to evacuate. When they went back, they found a 9 ft gator in their dining room!
