Help is on the way, Lousiana:

Heading to Port Arthur and there’s a line of dozens of first places responders heading east on I-10 DPS, UT Health EMS, Fort Bend County, Hopkins Co., Harris Co. and more. Even spotted Dallas. Help is on the way y’all! ?? #HurricaneLaura2020 #laura #abc13 @abc13houston pic.twitter.com/T1YmKLGTt0

It’s getting a little dusty in here. . .

Here’s a better shot of the line of first responders. It has to be 100 or more, we can’t even see the beginning of the line. Truly remarkable and always thank you, thank you, thank you to our first responders. In awe right now. #abc13 #HurricaneLaura2020 @abc13houston pic.twitter.com/OExEygBejY
