Goodness of America
Harvey Heroes
In the face of calamity, there are no people more generous or resilient than the American people, and there is no better proof of this than in Houston and its surrounding areas, which were pummeled by Hurricane Harvey at the end of August.
Hurricane Harvey dropped 40-52 inches of rain in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana, according to weather.com. It forced more than 35,000 people into shelters as thousands upon thousands of homes became submerged under floodwaters. And worst of all, Harvey claimed the lives of at least 82 people, according to Texas officials. It is easy to look at the utter devastation and loss caused by Hurricane Harvey and feel sadness and hopelessness, but Hurricane Harvey has also revealed beautiful moments of goodness and godliness that no storm can ever destroy. People from all across the country have shown their support for the victims of Hurricane Harvey, with some even heroically risking their lives to save others.
Life-saving Heroics
The famous Cajun Navy, a group of boat owners known for their rescue efforts during the flooding in southeast Louisiana in August 2016, came all the way from Louisiana to help rescue residents trapped in their homes as a result of Harvey’s flooding.
