The Weather Channel’s Paul Goodie was filmed in a poignant moment when he noticed a battered American flag among the ruin caused by Hurricane Harvey.

Here’s what he did:

Some are saying the hurricane is among the worst in 500 years. So far there are 5 deaths attributed to the storm. Houston’s mayor is defending the decision not to evacuate earlier, now that emergency evacuations have begun.

Pray for Houston, and everyone affected by this awful natural disaster.
