A baby is carried through floodwaters by what looks to be a first responder. The person who submitted this image to us, SWP, did not provide any details about the image, but its impact is strong. We're not crying, you're crying, as we like to say here at KPRC 2.

We admire their spunk, and their smoker. Way to do it up, Angleton-style.

This is why we're still strong after all these storms. We're here for each other -- with a smile. The person who sent it to us wrote, "Station 10 firefighters helping people (with stalled cars)."
8. Strangers helping strangers -- and then maybe new friends - Photo credit: Ampyfleming
How many people started as strangers and became friends yesterday? We don't have concrete numbers, but we've heard so many stories about Houston-area residents jumping in to help each other in crisis. This is what we see here from our first responders, but also from regular people who just wanted to help out. Have you heard the taquito ladies' story yet? What a great moment! We hope you get chance to read it.
