Smith: After the Flood

QR’s Liberal Columnist Glenn W. Smith on pre-flood and post-flood Texas

Before engaging in a bit of dryland analysis of where Texas was before Hurricane Harvey and where it might be post-flood (it’s not over), the major part of our attention should remain on recovery efforts.

Hundreds of thousands of Texans face uncertain futures.  

We would also benefit by spending more time contemplating the heroism we witnessed, the automatic, empathy-fueled solidarity that had everyone who could help others risking their own safety to help others.  

That’s a wonderful, heartening thing to witness, isn’t it? Police, firefighters, health care workers, neighbors of those in distress – all putting themselves at risk for others in the kind of human display of selflessness and courage that legends are made of.  

The full column by Glenn W. Smith is in the R&D Department.
