Randy Polly was driving to work on Thursday morning when he was caught by floodwaters. And he was forced to run to stay on a patch(片) of dry land. A few moments later, Polly could hear people shouting across the road, “Get me help! Get me help.” He decided to do something for the people in need. Polly called 911 at once, but no one answered his calls at that time, he said. Polly was worried.

At around 9 a.m., Polly saw someone he described as a “hero(英雄)” swim over to the house and start banging on a door and window. Polly said it took about 30 minutes from start to finish, as the man went into the house through the window and helped each of the three family members leave safely.

Missy Crovetti, a member of the lucky family, told CNN that her grandmother, uncle and brother are all safe. Her grandmother and uncle are staying in the hospital, she said. Both Crovetti and Polly said they do not know the name of the man who rescued her family.
