President Trump and first lady Melania Trump are set to visit Texas Friday for a firsthand look at the areas devastated by catastrophic flooding. But amid the tragedy have also come amazing stories of survival.

The cleanup is underway for families whose homes were flooded but still left standing on July 4th. Operation Blessing has begun helping to clear out debris to help survivors begin the restoration process. Among those victims—Collene Lucas and her husband—an elderly couple who lost nearly everything when the Guadalupe River rose rapidly and overtook their home.

"I am blessed. I have nothing but blessings," said Lucas, who was at work when the storm hit. After hearing the river had flooded a nearby business, she rushed home in her truck to rescue her sleeping husband.
