A group of good samaritans with water craft are out in Houston helping rescue stranded civilians. Referred to as the "Cajun Navy" since their formation during Hurricane Katrina, they are estimated to have helped to save thousands, and they're looking to do it again. 

USA Today reports that the Cajun Navy is helping people to evacuate in the wake of unprecedented flooding in Houston.

"There’s no telling how many are already over there,” said 39-year-old Joey Hains of Lafayette. “Basically everybody that’s wanting to go help out is going or has already arrived."

Truly a ragtag group from the beginning, the Cajun Navy are just a bunch of guys with hunting boats, shallow draft duck hunting boats with mud motors, airboats, pirogues, kayaks. That may be what makes it so beautiful, their concern about their fellow man despite how grand their boat is. 

"I can't look at somebody knowing that I have a perfect boat in my driveway to be doing this and to just sit at home," Jordy Bloodsworth of the Cajun Navy said. "I have every resource within 100 feet of me to help.” He was headed to Texas overnight on Sunday.

Many Houstonians showed a large amount of kindness to Louisianans fleeing Katrina, he said he and his fellow boaters want to repay the favor. “We’re just more than willing to go and help wherever we can.”

As Harvey moves and flash flood warnings have been issued in Louisiana, they may be needed back home soon. However, right now they're doing as much as they can for Texas.
