The picture’s authenticity was initially questioned on social media but later confirmed genuine by Dickerson city officials. The picture was taken around 9 a.m. CST.
Thankfully, McIntosh’s plea for help worked. According to the Daily News, 15 residents were rescued by Sunday afternoon.
Dickinson emergency management coordinator David Popoff told the newspaper they airlifted the residents from the facility.
“We were air-lifting grandmothers and grandfathers,” he said.

If this is all true that lady continuing to sew is a badass.
and I would think nursing homes would be evacuated next, right after neonatal units

Next of kin or administrator needs to be charged with abuse of elderly.

I hope this isn't another Katrina. People climbing on top of roofs. Horrible.

There was no mandatory evac. Probably even not a voluntary called there.
Water came up fast.
Emergency services were overwhelmed and the owners could not get through to ask for help.
Owners had their daughter tweet photo asking for help.

Some folks are capable of just accepting the things that they cannot change and continuing as best they can. Not much else for those dependent elderly to do except to accept the circumstances and make the best of it.
The sizing of her finished product is gonna be all off. The shrinkage factor from floodwaters is unknown....at least I hope it is.

The business shouldn't have been given a license to operate without having an evacuation plan in place. One approved by the local fire/police department, or whomever would know about such things.
This is where local governments fail, big time. The local council I'm sure doesn't mind spending hundreds of man hours and several thousand dollars trying to prevent a man from putting a shed on his property, but when it comes to real shite, like requiring treatment facilities to have an evacuation plan, they couldn't be bothered. I've seen this kind of shite time and time again.

If true, great news. That photo looks fake news to me.

better climbing on roofs then leaving in car or truck in the middle of the night, trying to drive thru flood waters.. Truth is there is no easy answers to hurricanes. I remember Katrina, was on a oil rig up until the day before it hit. Everybody knew it was coming to NOLA, no one cared I drove thru NOLA that morning to Houston no problem, no problem at all and the radio was screaming telling people to leave NOLA, not many did...Like Ivan, what a mess, samething on the rig until a day before it hit. Left Morgan City, they were telling everybody to leave NOLA, get past NOLA, tell everybody to leave Biloxi, get past Biloxi, tell everybody to leave Moblie, then pensacola. it was a never ending mess...FInally made it home, the next morning locked down for IVan and that night Ivan did not play around at all, lost power and did not get it back for a week... Climbing on roofs may seem bad but taking off in your car is a death wish, from my exper. in hurricane's or flash flooding....
