Based on the stories that are coming out of Texas, there have been some great "personal efforts" by first responders ... including the people who formed the 'human chain' to pull a victim from deep water, the Cajun Navy (terrific effort!), and the folks who re-built the levees on the Bravos River. No doubt there were many other personal efforts that go unrecognized.

Also, FEMA and the City of Houston seem to have a done a great job with the emergency shelters. People have cots and blankets. It looks well organized.

CONGRATULATIONS to everyone who contributed to this 'big save'.
