"During Hurricane #Harvey, while I spent my days and nights covering the rescues coming in to GRB and subsequently the overcrowding, I witnessed some incredible acts of bravery and generosity. First of all, people listened to public media when deciding whether to leave their belongings behind and come to shelters and they acted in intelligent ways that probably saved lives. People listened when GRB was running short on dry clothes, blankets, medications. People SHOWED UP with everything we asked for and for that, Houston has my whole heart. Then, behind the scenes, there were the officers at GRB who helped me laugh to keep me awake, the officers who stood on their feet for 48+ hours because they couldn't get home so they just kept working, and Officer Theragood for this kind gesture that sums up #HoustonStrong... Here's to hoping you had a year of dry socks Sheldon Theragood! KPRC TV Channel 2"
