Hurricane Harvey

What do you do when you're a baker who finds they're stranded at work because of rising flood water? The answer is simple, you keep on baking.


That's what happened to staff at El Bolillo Bakery in the south of Houston, devastated by the flooding caused by Hurricane Harvey, who got to the end of their shift and realised there was no way to leave the building.

Although they were worried about the safety of their own families they decided to keep their aprons on and get back to kneading dough. By the time their boss reached them two days later he found his tired employees had baked their way through 40,000lbs (18,000kg) of flour.

The Mexican bakery was one of the only ones in the city not to lose power or to be flooded. And despite the huge bread shortage in the city the owner Kirk Michaelis decided not to push up his prices but to give it away instead.

It's too bad that we don't see more stories like this in the "Main Stream Media".


There are 10 kinds of people in this world.  Those who understand binary and those who don't.
