Hurricane Harvey has caused catastrophic destruction in Texas, slamming the Houston area with disastrous flooding. 

The streets, freeways and surrounding areas are completely flooded, with waters several feet high turning paved roadways into rivers and canals. Survivors that weren't able to evacuate are still being rescued daily, while officials race to minimize the death toll and destruction. 

Aid efforts to the devastating flooding are coming in from all directions, with celebrities like Beyonce making huge donations and athletes like J.J. leading the charge with a huge fundraiser. Other local entrepreneurs, like Houston Rockets owner Les Alexander, are also offering huge donations. 

On the ground, though, people are trapped in their homes with nowhere to go and water up to their chests. That's where former NBA player Gerald Green is trying to make his own impact, working his way through the streets to help those in need. 

Green posted on Instagram that he was looking for any civilians with a boat in the Houston area so he could assist with the rescue efforts on his own. The Houston-native wanted to lend an immediate hand to those in dire need, and eventually someone contacted Green.

The rescue efforts were officially underway for Green, who shared footage of him boating through what were once streets with the good Samaritans who offered their boat and time up to help anyone in need. The footage Green provides is stunning:

Hurricane Harvey slammed Texas, completely submerging one of America's largest cities. It's a heavy time for those affected by the natural disaster, with 11 trillion gallons of water pouring into Texas as of Tuesday night, according to CNN. 

Thousands of rescues by boat have already been logged, and Green is doing his part to help save people in his hometown. The support has been abundant for Houston, but no amount of support can erase the toll the hurricane has already taken. 

Families and friends are being split with people losing contact with one another while trying to survive the dire situation. Even evacuation centers are being overwhelmed by flood waters, and there's no telling how many civilians are still in need of rescue, food and a dry set of clothing. 

Green physically going out into the storm to help people is heroic, and it's a reminder of what kind of inspiring humanitarian efforts are underway from people that will never get credit for trying to save even one life.
