As Hurricane #Helene takes aim for Florida, some Texans are preparing to head that way to help in recovery efforts. We spent the day with the local @RedCrossCSTR as they prep.

Want to meet a small but mighty hero? Look no further than, Bonnie, a brave 12-year-old Chihuahua. In the middle of the night, she sensed the home was on fire and alerted her family by barking and pushing her owner with her nose. Because of her lifesaving actions, Bonnie’s family was able to quickly escape the home before it became engulfed in flames. Sadly, they lost everything in the fire — 25 years of memories — but they we’re extremely grateful for Bonnie’s heroism and the help they received from @RedCrossCSTR volunteers.
