The so-called “Cajun Navy”—an informal network of good Samaritans based in Texas and Louisiana that was formed after Hurricane Katrina—is heading to flood-ravaged Houston.
“There’s no telling how many are already over there,” said 39-year-old Joey Hains of Lafayette, La., USA Today reported. Hains said he’s going to Houston.
“Okay Texas The Cajun Navy from Louisiana is enroute to Dickinson. We have been given the GREEN LIGHT to enter your area,” said the group’s leader in Facebook post, VOA News reported.
“The reality of the Cajun Navy is everybody out here with a boat that isn’t devastated gets out and helps others,” Clyde Cain, who is in charge of the Facebook page Louisiana Cajun Navy, told USA Today.
On Sunday, as ABC13 reported, pickup trucks and small fishing boats could be seen heading from Louisiana to southern Texas for the rescue effort.
