In Louisiana, in the United States, there was the largest flood ever recorded. Thirty thousand people had to be evacuated, and thirteen individuals died as a result of the flooding in 40,000 homes.
Despite the turmoil and destruction brought on by the terrible weather, brave people nevertheless assisted in the rescue of stranded people and animals.
By attempting to save both human and animal lives, two volunteers, Darrell Watson and Mike Anderson, have already contributed to the saving of 100 lives. Two pit bulls were found trapped in the water.
The dogs were caught in a water trap and held captive for at least 16 hours. Several people are assisting with the rescue efforts in addition to Mike and Darrell.
According to a picture Josh Petit posted on Facebook on August 15, the storm that wreaked havoc on the city this morning caused the water in Baton Rouge to rise 2.5 meters in just two hours. It is awful. A disturbance in the bushes drew my attention out of the corner of my eye. Nothing else appears to be present from a distance.
Almost submerged were the dog’s eyes and nose! Never before had I seen such a miserable expression on an already exhausted animal. The dog was in actual danger of dying. She stood up after we had saved her, put her head on my knees, and cried and whimpered like a baby. She expressed her gratitude to me.
On Facebook, the message gained popularity right away, and Sadie’s owners were discovered.
I gave Sadie back to her owner. She apparently ran away from him in reality as he evacuated while he was packed and leaving. She is so happy to be home that she is currently in seventh heaven!
