Moments of Hope and Inspiration Rise Above the Chaos of Harvey

Considering the scale of the destruction Hurricane Harvey has brought to Texas, individual stories of the people affected could easily be overlooked.

There have been desperate pleas for help, selfless displays of courage and moments of humanity amid unfathomable disaster.

At times heartbreaking, at times inspiring, these are some of the moments that stand out.

More than any hurricane before it, Harvey struck at a time when almost anyone can document their own experiences through social media.

The world has been able to see some of the dramatic rescues and acts of altruism that might otherwise have gone unnoticed.



Lots of inspiring short videos worth watching.
