This is American Heroism...
...

"Another question I have is…how is it possible that one lone citizen proved to be more intelligent, more capable, and more astute than all of those officials who have been planning and practicing for handling emergencies since long before Y2K? Tens of thousands of people were stranded in a dangerous situation and needed to be bussed somewhere/ elsewhere/ anywhere.

While the officials in DC sat around with their thumbs up their proverbial behinds, one astute and caring fellow went to a school yard, found the keys for a bright yellow school bus, and drove around collecting people until the bus was full. Once the bus was full, he drove to Houston."
