The girls were moved by officials to a nearby basketball centre, which was being used as a medical

centre, on Wednesday. They spent 24 hours helping to wash and feed elderly evacuees before being

transferred to the severely damaged Hyatt Hotel on Thursday and finally getting a coach to Dallas,

began journeys home.
