But most of all I am grateful to have experienced the amazing human spirit in action. All too often we are ground down by the ugly side of humanity. What I witnessed was pure goodness and compassion
While the Left sneer, the magnificent people of Republican Texas show the true meaning of humanity

The last flight out of Houston that day was ours. The airline cancelled two of its three scheduled flights, including the Phoenix one, and piled us all on a plane scheduled for Dallas. The airfield was deserted. I felt as though we were the last humans on earth. I had not been scared during that stressful drive from Galveston to Houston. Neither had I been scared as the shuttle bus battled through walls of water earlier that morning. But as the plane took off into the jaws of Hurricane Harvey, my stomach muscles contracted in fear. I could see from the window horrible scenes of flooded roads, parks and homes.
The pilot instructed all passengers and crew to stay in their seats. For most of the flight the plane bounced up and down and lurched from side to side. But the eeriest part of our escape journey from Houston was the total silence within the cabin. For that full hour we were in the air all 139 passengers were silent. Nobody uttered a single word or sound.
