Доброжелатель спас мужчину, унесенного паводком в штате Техас

Good Samaritan saves man swept into flooded creek, braving chest-high water SABINAL, Texas (KSAT) - A good Samaritan waded into fast-moving floodwaters to save a man who had been swept into a Texas creek, and the dramatic rescue was caught on video. Dangerously heavy rain has been hammering parts of Texas, leading to dozens of water rescues in Uvalde County, where more than a half year’s worth of rain has fallen. More than 12 inches fell near Sabinal, causing creeks to rise rapidly. Amid the relentless rain, David Flores was in the right place at the right time around 8:30 a.m. Tuesday. He recorded the moments he waded into the swollen Elm Creek to save a man named Nathan who had been swept away. “Come on. Keep going. Go toward the tree,” Flores can be heard saying in the video. As Nathan clung to a tree in the rushing water, Flores encouraged him to keep talking and to hold on. “I’m coming. I’m coming toward you, Nathan,” said Flores as he carefully moved through the current. The video shows floodwaters reaching Flores’ chest as he made his way across the creek. Nathan is seen gripping the tree while trying to catch his breath as he waited for help. “All right, Nathan, hang on. You got to take a break,” Flores said in the video. After reaching Nathan, Flores helped him out of the creek, and both men made it to safety. More than 75 people have been rescued from rising floodwaters across Texas, according to Gov. Greg Abbott.
