Flood and Helicopters

Date: 12/31/2016

I believe I was on vacation with my family at the beach on the east coast. We were waiting for local officials to tell us what to do, as a natural disaster seemed to be happening. I went upstairs to get my phone and text my parents what was going on. I didn't send the text. We were in a beautiful house with large glass windows in the front. As I was upstairs, the house started flooding. I grabbed my phone and a bag of clothes and had to hold my breath as I walked down the stairs as almost the whole house was flooded. As I was walking down the stairs, I saw my husband holding my son's hand walking through the water that was over our heads. I was concerned if both my sons had gotten out. Once we were out of the house, there was no more water and my husband had gotten both of my sons out safely. The ocean was in the background. Local officials told us that they were sending helicopters to rescue us. There were about a dozen people waiting for the helicopters to rescue them. Some people had already been rescued. We were putting helmets on our two sons in anticipation of the helicopters arriving. My phone was not working because it had gotten wet while I was walking through the water in the home. I was concerned that my parents did not know what my family was experiencing. I woke up before the helicopters came to rescue us.
