I am so proud to be a texan today. Out of the flood water and into the air. Happening in texas, nearly a hundred nursing home patients are being flown finally to safety. Good evening. Im dan ashley. And im ama daetz. Its a hopeful ending to whats been a trying day in port arthur, east of houston, where people are standing in the flood waters from Hurricane Harvey, now a tropical depression.
