【Fantasy Archives】

When Hurricane Harvey came ashore Friday,Fantasy Archives it was the most powerful storm to hit Texas in 50 years -- and it's not over yet.

Over the weekend, everyone from members of the National Guard to strong-willed moms on boats came together to rescue people trapped in their homes and cars. Most of this kind of labor won't be captured on camera -- catastrophic flooding isn't exactly the best environment for selfies -- but luckily some photos of their bravery were taken and shared.
