We often take things for granted in life but when tragedy happens and strangers go out of their way to save others, you have to recognized who the real heroes are. Not superman, or Wonder Woman, but these average men and women going out of their element to save those in need. FEMA and other emergency rescues will do their job, but it takes the power of their own population to make a difference. Good stuff.
In Canada, there are lots of stores asking for donations for the Red Cross to be added to our purchases ... Alberta, Canada is known as "The Texas of the North" because we're very similar to Texas, lots of ranches, farms and oil. I can say that as devastating as this is, I'm glad to see how much better this disaster is being handled than Katrina was handled. Our hearts are with Texans during this time
I was born in Illinois and I came to Texas when I was 4 years old. THIS state has been so kind. The helping hands mentality of the people of Texas is honestly so pure and beautiful.
i am from houston and i am crying my house was not affected by the flood waters but i be willing to come out and help the people in need all i need is a boat and alot of help from my boy scout troop
Thank goodness! It shows that lessons were learned and history didn't repeat itself as with Katrina. Animals were kept with their families and strangers helping strangers. In the midst of all this strife, it warms my heart to see humanity pulling together for the greater good. Bless everyone who gave a helping hand.
What Texas showed the world after the hurricane is we are Americans and we are a big dysfunctional family who drop everything to help their fellow Americans in need
We Texans are just built different, in this time we all set down politics, opinions and everything else to save our own. Mighty props to mexico and Louisiana helping us too… god it was unbelievable
God's blessings to all those brave men & rescue workers, who risked life & limb to save their fellow Americans. and to the victims and survivors' God's speed. Chief Art Avecedo, not onlt are you a leader. I never realized how attractive you are.
I remember that whole experience. I lived in a first floor of a apartment but the thing is that me, my mom and my dog were if Louisiana for family during the hurricane, after the hurricane we rushed home and everything was destroyed. We were homeless. We lived in a hotel for about 4-5 months looking for a house. I was in 5th grade. It wasn’t fun coming back from school and going to a hotel as a “home” everything is fine now, we have a house and everything is fine.
I am so blessed that this has not happened in my part of the neighborhood or where I lived I mean I could have probably died if they were that strong as in the video but luckily it didn’t rip apart my house
Could this be a message from god to show us that we need to get along with each other look how many people got together to help others not looking at the color of their skin we see black white mexican all working together we should do this every day im sure america would be great if we can do that!
Americans protect fellow Americans. Everyone come together in a time of disaster no matter you color, gender, sexualitt in that moments it doesn't matter, it just matters that we protect and save lives
The rescuers are almost entirely male. Give credit where credit is due. Every once in a while there is a female rescuer though and when that happens the media is right there to film her.
I was in an area where the hurricane hit the hardest although my house didnt get flooded our because its elevated from the ground luckily And my dad had this 4x4 truck and he was driving around seeing if anyone needed help and he had gotten these three woman and they had stayed with us until it was over
People coming together is awesome.. And I thank you.. BUT the government doesn't really want your help.. Your making them lose out on using your tax dollars. So they can't use certain government agencies. They DON'T want people helping people. It makes them look bad.
Why wasn't the city ready for this,they knew it was going to get bad they knew the city was going to get flooded,where the hell is the pumps,there should have been massive amounts of pumps threw out the city,but we don't see any of them.
@@ericchavez338 why are you making excuses for that Man. There could have been little kids that could have been helped instead of wasting time on that man
As a Texan, hearing "the republic of Texas" made me laugh and cringe at the same time. During this turbulent time, let's be American before Texan sir. Only then can we understand the pain that other Americans go through when they face difficult times. Don't fall into the myopic mindset of Ted Cruz, who showed emotional depravity toward hurricane Sandy victims.
Lol, and you get that from my comment? Just because I have the conscience to put aside my Texan identity and try to mend the fissures of our divided country makes me not born in Texas? It's just the opposite. Don't forget it's Ted Cruz who wasn't born in Texas and look at what he's doing. True Texans try to better Texas, not make it into a place that turns its back against the poor and suffering except when a major disaster strikes. I'm an old Texan to remember what real Texans are like, not like your juvenile hodgepodge diluted Texan identity apparent in your comment.
I can attest to there being entire societies, forced into division *globally* but especially in the middle east and the west. I don't know what or when, but I think it's clear something big lays in our near future which may decide the fate of many billions of people worldwide. Divided we fall, United we stand! And we will take nothing less than our destiny back into our own hands, out of the hands of depraved old greedy men who represent the absolute worst of corporate and capitalist and communist greed along with the military industrial complex that has for more than a century fabricated wars into existence for pure and simple profit. Red for Green. Unite under the one banner of being human- nothing more or less, no matter what the opinion makers like Alex Jones or Hillary Clinton or Ted Cruz or DT say.... Money, fame, position, the competitive economic & social mentality that is supposedly "good" for us; they're all bullshit socio-economical constructs that are designed to dilute our morals, hopes, intelligence and even our sanity by drowning us in meaningless materialism and shallow brief moments of happiness. Have you ever wondered why it is that no matter who gets in office, the poor stay poor, the rich stay rich and the ultra-rich, or ultra-elite, remain in control of the scheme? The game is rigged. Next time you judge someone as "not Texan" or some other irrelevant artificial label that really says very little to any rational individual, how about you look at the 99% similarity that you both share instead of the tiny differences that you're homing onto like a sidewinder. I really hope that this age of ignorance and fear and hatred and division will join the dark ages & inquisitions as very dark chapters in our history... If we don't blow ourselves up that is.
Woow ... this is so sad :( But it is good to see black guys and white guys working together for help others ... ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO REBUILD TEXAS !!!
No Pandora, that definition is incorrect. Socialism is a construct of Karl Marx, who advocated for the governmental distribution of resources. Socialism is NOT a "community venture."
This is sad because you did this. You manipulate the weather and make-believe time but no matter what, you lowercase will never be GOD, BIG CASE. MAY GOD HAVE MERCY ON US ALL🌠
Really "republican Texans" , what about the the liberals donating millions of dollars to your people...excuse me for getting political but I need to clap back to those who are being selfish, ungrateful and POLITICAL in times like these
I was born in Illinois and I came to Texas when I was 4 years old. THIS state has been so kind. The helping hands mentality of the people of Texas is honestly so pure and beautiful.
Thus is So Beautiful...If only people would help each other all the time, not just in tragedy. Prayers for Texas!
Vention, do you need a hug?

...chicken and a boat!! That old man has the right attitude. Don't suffer through it, laugh!
May God bless all those people that was working so hard to rescue other people. This is a call of life and this is the reason why God created us.
I legit cried. faith in humanity restored. I'm not giving up yet.
We Texans are just built different, in this time we all set down politics, opinions and everything else to save our own. Mighty props to mexico and Louisiana helping us too… god it was unbelievable
Its so fantastic seeing these strong brave kind unselfish MEN caring for the helpless children , seniors and women
may all the people that died rest in peace.
Thank the lord for people that love one another

THarrison004 its way too much water to just pump out.
Texas Worm Man, they're useless when they're not turned on or even remotely upgraded to pump faster.
2:07 mark. MAN THAT GUY SERIOUSLY WAS IN NEED OF SAVING????????? HES A GROWN ASS MAN. IN WATER THATS KNEE HIGH SMH
Well if you’ve ever experienced a hurricane, you would know that a multitude of things could have caused him to not get out by himself
@@ericchavez338 i was there i live in Channelview
@@gmailgmail0128 then you should know that he could have been injured or is just starving, hurricanes can cause tons of problems
@@ericchavez338 why are you making excuses for that Man. There could have been little kids that could have been helped instead of wasting time on that man

ALL WORKING TOGETHER TO REBUILD TEXAS !!!
trucks with boats n does nothing.the president can bring
Notice that the rescuers are almost entirely men? Isn't that sexist? When the situation calls for volunteer rescuers where did all the women go?
get over yourself.
They were in shelters and churches and helping those coming in. There were women everywhere. Sexiest really.
Ha, "republic of texas." Just secede already, god damn.
This is called Socialism
YES, it is Socialism by definition.
Lmao dumbest comment I've seen all day. You are a confused individual
