Trapped Mexican bakery staff make 2 tons of bread for Harvey flood victims

A group of Mexican bakers found themselves trapped by Harvey in their bakery for two days, so they decided to make hundreds of loaves of bread for the hurricane victims.

The bakers from El Bolillo bakery in Houston, Texas were working a late shift when they realized they had to stay since the water level was already too high.

Over the next 48 hours they went through 4,400 pounds of flour and continued baking for the victims of the hurricane making two tons of bread and Mexican sweet bread.

Fortunately the bakery's electricity didn't go out.

Once they were rescued by the owner of the shop, the loaves of bread were distributed in emergency centers across the city for those affected by Harvey.

The Mexican government offered the United States aid and assistance to help recover from the catastrophic floods. There hasn't been a formal response to the offer to say whether the U.S. will accept it or not.
