Diane Berthelot This was a great moment but this young man risked his life in attempting to rescue this lady and her dog. People please use common sense in your expectations of rescue personnel. I am a devout dog lover but I sat here holding my breath over this video

Michelle Hughes
Michelle Hughes This lady was obviously impaired and had been driving back and forth down Elliott all morning, as the water rose. My uncle stopped her from coming one last time and she zoomed off, nearly hitting a truck. She recklessly put these men's lives in danger. She should be prosecuted.

Cynthia Cardenas
Cynthia Cardenas Super proud of these heroes. Such a frightening situation. But did the lady not seem to be under the influence of something? I'm just wondering if anyone thought the same. It's sad when people but themselves and rescuers in harms way due to them not thinking or being under the influence.

Donald Winding
Donald Winding I think that she was drunk😮😮😮😮 This is kinda stuff that is happening as we speak. That trip more than likely wasn't nessacary. She had to see the water and anything less than a serious medical emergency she didn't need to be out there. RISKING OTHER LIVES BECAUSE OF HER IGNORANCE.

Tina Mccalip What the Heck was that woman doing driving in flood waters? My first thought is that's she's intoxicated but maybe she's mentally challenged. I have sympathy for the first but not the latter. Glad her dog was saved.
