Thank You, Louisianans.

Howdy, I hope Lousianans is the actual term used for you fine folks.

I just wanted to extend my gratitude to the people of your state who have made efforts to assist those in Texas, despite dealing with your own problems resulting from Hurricane Harvey, as this storm continues to impact both of our states.

I live in College Station, and tonight after three days of rain, my apartment has finally succumbed to the weather and began to partially flood. Luckily it's contained to my closet and bathroom thus far and I count myself lucky to not have been in the crosshairs of the downpour in Houston and along the coast.

The next few days and coming weeks will be difficult to say the least, for all Texans, but I am truly thankful to see the immense support that has been offered to us by yourselves and others of the communities along the Gulf Coast.

I know that some of us Aggies, particularly on this website, enjoy adding fuel to the fire when it comes to our faux rivalry ... and events like this one make me realize how stupid it is to spend so much time focusing so much on our differences when we have so much in common.

The people of Louisiana are hard working, caring, and genuinely kind hearted people, ready to help out their fellow countrymen, and human beings, at a moments notice.

Your support, be it physical, emotional, spiritual, etc. has not gone unnoticed. Believe me when I say that myself and the people of Texas are eternally grateful for the support you have shown us these past few days.

It matters to me a great deal, and millions of other Texans, that so many of you have been willing to come and assist us in the manner that y'all have.

It's 5 AM and I still have some work to do so I can't afford to spend as much time and energy on this post as I would like but ... THANK YOU. From the bottom of my heart.

God bless everyone of y'all, Texan or Louisianan, I hope y'all are staying safe and dry out there!
