Meet a hero! He used his little boat to rescue more than 100 neighbors, taking them to a nearby church. He told me that from the time he heard the levy break until the water was at the eaves was only 15 minutes. One of the neighbors found another boat in a tree later. If I understood him right, one of the men at this house spent 7 days on his roof waiting for rescue. Mike told us with tears in his eyes about loading the boat at one house but having to leave two people behind because the boat would not hold any more. He came back later to find they did not survive.
