It is probably one of the most tragic events I've witnessed in my 50-plus years of public service. It is time for everyone to unite, to reflect on the tragedy, to mourn the loss of life, and to hold our loved ones close. Let us stand together, Houstonians, in this time of sorrow.

As Houstonians continue to grieve over the loss of people, including young children, who died in the devastating flooding, let's continue to show our compassion and support for the families and victims.
