Quebec offers blankets, beds and hydro crews to Texas in wake of Hurricane Harvey
Quebec is offering to help Houston in the wake of Hurricane Harvey and is at the ready for when officials there say they need it, says Minister of International Relations Christine St-Pierre.
St-Pierre says she spoke with Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos Tuesday early afternoon, offering to send equipment and crews to help restore power and to provide blankets, beds, pillows and hygienic products.
Above all, St-Pierre said she called to voice Quebec's concern for Texans caught up in the disaster.
"It was a conversation about how devastating the situation is and we want to express our support to the people of Texas," she told CBC News.
Pablos declined the aid for now, instead asking for "prayers from the people of Quebec," the minister said. "He was very touched by the fact we called him."

Huh? People are suffering and the GOP SoS turns down aid that might alleviate the situation.
