I'd milk poor ol' Connie dry, if she were supplying mustaches to everyone involved in the process of clean-up and restoration. I'll tell you what, we Texans may be loud, proud, and even overbearing, but when something knocks us down, we band together as a family and help our fellow neighbors out to lift them back up.
A tip of the 10 gallon to Smith County, TPD, SCSD, all the EMTs, and every hardworking East Texan who has stopped their respective lives on a dime so they can pitch in, with a chainsaw/pitchfork/front end loader, or just their gloved hands and a pair of rubber boots, going around the county and giving a hand anyway they can.
