Thousands of ’cold-stunned’ turtles rescued in freezing Texas

Residents of South Padre Island, Texas are rescuing thousands of sea turtles and taking them to the convention center in the resort town after its neighbor, Sea Turtle Inc, was overwhelmed with the numbers being brought in there. The townspeople have rescued over 4,000 turtles, so far, ignoring their own heating needs and lack of basic amenities due to power outage and shutting of transportation.
