Pizzas delivered by kayak through Harvey floodwaters

SUGAR LAND, TEXAS - The real MVP award goes to one Southeast Texas Pizza Hut manager!

When Shayda Habib, the manager of a Sugar Land Pizza Hut, found out people were trapped in their flooded homes near her store, she decided to act fast.

Habib gathered her employees and had them prepare as many pizzas as possible.

Floodwaters were no match for her team's dedication. They used kayaks deliver the pizzas to neighboring families!

This is the time and place for drones to aid in searching and I haven't seen any mention of them. I don't have cable so maybe there is some coverage I've missed.

Didn't like the toppings, it was cold, what took so long etc because there is always ONE who complains about everything. Like no matter how shitty things are - this is the person who complains that the rescue boat doesn't provide snacks.

Seriously though - this is just awesome. To be able to do something tangible (feed people pizza!!!) must feel good to everyone involved and helps makes this nightmare just a bit better.
