It is a devastating sight in texas. Up hitting, people trying to help one another, trying to help neighbors evacuate. Theyre going doortodoor. But we still know at least 31 people have died. Officials do fear that number will rise as floodwaters begin to recede and theyre actually able to go doortodoor, house to house, to see who may have been left behind. We know 44,000 homes, think about that, have been destroyed. In tyler county officials are warning folks to quote, get out or die. That is the warning as water levels continue to rise. There is no First Responders there. They have no firstresponders to get to the flooded areas.

This is americas real being, this is our truth. You have got neighbors there helping neighbors. You see them in the video over and over again. People risking their own lives to rescue a complete stranger.
