Texans Are Sharing Amazing Photos That Demonstrate The Texan Spirit After The Hurricane

"I'm so proud, This is so Texan. Texas got Texas!"

Tropical Storm Harvey walloped Texas over the weekend, and hit Houston especially hard. The city is now experiencing catastrophic flooding, which the National Weather Service says is unprecedented.

Amid the devastation, Texans are tweeting out heartwarming moments from the storm, saying they are prouder than ever to be Texan.

Texas, you didn't deserve this, but my goodness ya'll are making this country proud. #TexasStrong

People were really stepping up, and their fellow Texans were proud.

I have an idea for replacing one of those statues...
