ROCKPORT, TX, (WTAQ) – While there’s a lot of attention being paid to Florida as Hurricane Irma roared through, the recovery in Texas continues after Hurricane Harvey.
WTAQ, and Midwest Communications, along with local law enforcement and businesses took part in the “Titletown to Texas” relief effort.
More than half a dozen semis with supplies from the Green Bay area made to Rockport, over the weekend.
Texans like Debbie Thompson were happy to see it.
“It will make a difference in the long run when we put our town back together. And we are forever grateful for all the help that we’re getting.”
Others, like Lisa, are trying to stay positive.
“We need to keep our hope, stay together and make things happen.”
And the resiliency of the people was on full display by one Rockport police officer. He agreed with the old saying “Don’t mess with Texas”.
Calling it more than a cliche.
“And Harvey went and crossed the line. And now we’re going to pick up the pieces and show Harvey whose boss.”
Some much needed items ranging from bottled water, to diapers, to paper towels were dropped off in a community that took the full impact of Hurricane Harvey as it came out of the Gulf of Mexico.
