BATON ROUGE, LA (WAFB) -
One year after the Cajun Navy fleet deployed to pluck stranded families from the flood waters that overwhelmed southeast Louisiana, the volunteer rescuers have mobilized again to help in the Houston area after heavy flooding from Tropical Storm Harvey.
A second wave of volunteers with the group gathered in Baton Rouge on Monday to head to the Houston area to provide additional support.

Wow, that’s truly inspiring.
Drowned gators is a sad thing
But good for handbags
This article is about Louisana helping Texas
It’s not about GOP versus democrat
A facile argument that meant zip till 1980 or so
Before that both states had been democrat since reconstruction and for damn good reason in 1870
This notion that the GOP means anything anymore should be obvious right about now that it’s poppycock
The only decent folks around tend to be GOP
But the GOP are treacherous to their base unlike the Dems
Louisana is three times as black as Texas which means it’ll always have a butt load of lefties
Whites in both states baring the idiosyncratic coonasses are pretty close culturally
Coonasses in Texas btw
I see no helpin’ from the likes of Mutt Romney, McCain, Flake, Rubio, Corker or Cruz and the #nevertrumpers to lift a finger in a national crisis.
Perhaps Mutt could put a few dogs on top his car and donate a few trucks of supplies.
Thanks, I did not detect whether you were being sarcastic or not. I lived there for 18 years and still miss certain things (tho definitely not the Hurricane related issues)...
No, and I really hope he does NOT show up. Just the reaction from the white people from Texas and Louisiana would make him leave in short order.
We lost our home and all of our possessions in Katrina. When we needed help, it was not FEMA or MEMA or even the Red Cross that arrived to help. It was Southern Baptist churches from NC, SC and TN. It was the Marine Corps Reserve, volunteers from Ohio and Indiana.
Good people put their lives on hold, left their families and at their own expense spent many days among the debris and stench to provide aid and comfort to those in need.
That is OUR AMERICA and we will always be so grateful to them.
PS: Some of this same Cajun group tried to help save lives in NOLA but were stopped and threatened with arrest because FEMA had not approved them. Hope that they are received better in Houston.
All state disaster preparedness planners go here to get your stat quaking.

Yeah....must be something in the water to make those “racist Nazis” want to truly help people
Yep, amazing isn’t it? Now watch the Enemedia ignore that and look for ANYTHING to single them out for criticism and “racism”
Like, going to rescue a white family whilst passing the black guy hauling the case of beer
well done
Dern. I have boat envy.
Yes, me too. Bless these heroes.
I love the Cajun Navy made up of coonasses. They are a selfless group. They go out on there own initiative and save everyone one in trouble, but I wonder about the whatevers?
