A friend's parents rescue - great people helping out.
This is incredible. It's easy to detach from the stories of all of the rescues when you don't actually know the people, but how about when it is the parents of one of your best friends?
"My parents are safe. They were pulled from the flood waters by nuns. Then two guys from Lafayette, ignoring the authorities, showed up in a flat boat and rescued them from the second floor of the convent. They dropped them off on I-10 where they spent the night, then caught a bus bound for Houston, but got off at Port Allen. They were able to contact me and I picked them up."
A-freaking-mazing.
