– Boats in Texas
In the vicinity of great tragedy, it is often a creepy stillness, as if any loud noise or sudden movements could trigger the natural rage again. This feeling is about 25 minutes outside the Kerr County Flood Gine this week in Boerne, Texas, where 82 souls perish.
Within a few hours Friday’s mountain torrentBoerne (pronounced like Bernie), and nearby towns such as Fredrickburg, welfare has gathered supplies and arranged volunteers for flooded neighbors, which is exactly what they do here.
I met Dick outside the Black Rifle Coffee Cafe on the street. He retired and has lived in town for 25 years and told me: “Everyone feels that if it doesn’t make you sad, you’re not human.”
When I asked Dick, was he right Community Responsehe told me: “It’s not at all, that’s what we are like,” adding, “You know this area was founded in the 19th century by German free thinkers, they wanted to be free, and we still do it, so we take care of ourselves.”

As we talked under the unparalleled beauty of the same Texas sky that caused this damage last week, we saw and heard a lot of equipment on the back of the flat bed, Go to Kerr County.
Dick wasn’t the first to raise these hill country roots to me, even on my plane, the woman living in the area, the woman living in the area, gave me a brief history of freethinking and her influence, an immigrant from Colombia.
Later that day, I spoke to Kristen, who lives in Fredericksburg, and told me she knew it looked bad early on Friday, initially annoyed by the initial lack of news coverage, “And then we heard about the camp, the girl was missing, and that was a gut.”
By Saturday morning, she and her friends brought supplies to Texas comfort levels, turning what would have been the legendary local fireworks show into an emergency center.
It’s also about Boerne Chabbad’s Rabbi Yosef Marrus not only began collecting supplies, but also contacted the organization’s headquarters in Brooklyn to start a nationwide fundraising campaign.
“The Jewish community on the hill is small, Marus told me, “But we are honored to be here to help, we are all Americans. ”

Marrus emphasized to me the importance of finding out what Special need In the area, in one case the fire department gathered together but there was not enough refrigerator storage, and soon Chabbad bought 2 refrigerators and delivered them.
One of the central locations for Marrus and others to perform supplies is Boerne’s Blanker brand, owned by Clint Sanders and his wife Jenna, with events Monday morning.
Chris told me: “We brand a lot of websites, so we have a way to say it, we need to do something, we have this warehouse space.”
He took me through the facilities, staged different items around, and the trailer outside was to be packaged, and Sanders also told me that finding out what was really needed was the key: “We have a lot of donated clothes upstairs, but they don’t need them right now, maybe they will next week.”
I was impressed by the action Sanders said, “You and your wife know how to do all this”, without slapping, he smiled and said, “We don’t.”
It’s really the most impressive part of all this, and no ordinary person really knows what to do after rising 20 feet of water in 45 minutes, the efforts taken with its life, but with the help of state, local and federal authorities, they have learned to work at an incredible pace.

Perhaps, given that so many children’s lives are particularly terrible, people need to do something to stay busy.
As the couple lost so many children, my eyes stared at a thousand yards of stare. How does a person understand?
Here, I believe, seeing the selfless efforts of these tough Texans in Boerne, I believe that the German free thinkers who settled on this land 175 years ago are very proud of the community they have created today.
As Americans, we should be proud of them too.
