As Harvey floods rise in Texas, Cajun Navy is 'on the way'
The Times-Picayune ^ | August 27, 2017 | Wilborn P. Nobles III

Members of the Cajun Navy volunteer groups are stepping up to assist flood-stricken residents, as people bound for Texas post on Facebook that help is on the way.

Although unofficial and organized through several online groups, the Cajun Navy is comprised of grassroots volunteers who came to be known by a collective name after the Louisiana Flood of 2016 prompted hundreds of leisure boat owners to band together and perform search and rescue operations.

Wasn’t there a Mr. T. Boone Cajun who killed Indians, owned slaves, and also fought for the Reich??

Racist navy.

About 80 volunteers for Nebraska Red Cross and trucks full of supplies have left for Texas, as well as many line trucks from Nebraska Power District and Omaha Power District

Good luck with that. The boat in question was an airboat with the rudder painted as a flag.

Why are we not seeing the Blackhawks flying missions like what was seen in New Orleans back when?

I saw one rescue video on YouTube where they tried to drop off some muslims at a center but they started griping and eventually walked away back into the floodwaters because at the shelter.....

They had dogs.

Love them Cajuns.

THE thing that worries me the most is that ISIS may want to take advantage of the emergency situation in Houston.

Why don’t I see our muzzies join the many charitable organizations that are working around the clock doing good in my Bayou City?

Perhaps they’ll show up after Houston and their many mosques have dried out.

..until the various government agencies blocked the boat ramps they were using and forced them to stop rescuing people.

Talk of regulating Louisiana’s freewheeling Cajun Navy makes waves

The whole concept of “doing it ourselves” needs to be promoted and taught to our younger generation.

The gummint screws up everything it touches. We do it better.

I hope they are more organized than the $hitshow in the area yesterday. Looked like a fishing tournament with boats aimlessly wandering around. Sure some were rescued but how many got overlooked and how much wasted effort was there?
