Welp, I'm out of my house. Whole thing is flooded. In-Laws managed to rescue us in the nick of time in their SUV. Staying at Drury Inn Essen Park. Here with my wife, two kids, dog, and 2 cats. 3 nights booked. Then I get to go back and see what the damage is. I don't have flood insurance.

Just grateful to be dry right now.

Convertible was sinking VERY fast with a woman and her dog inside. They jammed into the convertible top with a pole and guy jumped into the water and ripped the roof back and used all of his weight to pull the woman out from under the water through the hole. Then reached back in and got her dog.

Soft-top Miata in deep water nose down. You could see the back window and some of the side windows. Some guys in a boat got to the old lady in the car. As they cut into the top the car started going down fast, the guy in the water ended up pulling the lady out while the car was fully submerged. He was able to grab her dog out of the car, too.
