    Your Dad, "the boss", seems to be a man of few words but with a determination to protect his family by any means necessary.
    You two may not realize it yet but that determination lives in both of you too.
    Your work ethic is just the tip of that iceberg.

    The sermon on the mount, Matthew 7:7-14, Jeremiah 31:3, Psalms 57:2, Psalms 91 ,. I have learned that there is nothing a dad loves, and there is nothing a mom loves more than their children. Psalms 91, Romans 8:37-39. Deuteronomy 28, Mark 10:17-27, Matthew 5:17, Luke 6:46.

    I remember that year and the years after. Bridges were out and working in the affected areas was a nightmare. The company I work for worked on the cleanup. It was the first time I had seen flood damage on tops of mountains. The story you tell about what you Dad did was heroic! The determination of saving one’s family is a force of nature.

That being said, it is super important to know what's going on in politics and vote accordingly. I say do your own research, think for yourself, and forget the media. They are the ones dividing us.

    I know I'm late to this video, but that was very touching. I could tell how much it affected your young lives and how absolutely determined your parents were in saving you. Oddly, I grew up just north of where you are and lived through a flood when the Tioga (PA) and Chemung (NY) rivers flooded. Lived in a church evacuation center for 8-days and my mother the RN would take the people the National Guard flights would bring in and check them out. I spent an entire summer helping clean up the area. That smell you described is still etched in my psyche and always will be...

    I lived through a flood back in 1973 when I was 16 years old. At that time my family lived 4 miles from the Mississippi River. We ended up with 18 inches of muddy water in our house which doesn't sound like all that much compared with your experience but still did a lot of damage and required a total remodel of our house. While you were telling your story it brought up a bunch of old memories of the things I experienced during my disaster. As you said, water is extremely powerful and dangerous, and a flood not only does unbelievable damage but can take lives, livelihoods, and shatters your emotional well-being. Being faced with your mortality can certainly change your life. I too, remember the "smell." We began cleanup at our house by mopping the floor with bleach and then just hosing out all of the mud (I bet we did that 20 or more times). I don't think the smell ever fully went away and we took every wall to the studs in the remodel. Life is precious, and your story proves how much your dad values each member of your family. Don't ever doubt his love, you saw it on full display that night. Tragedy has a way of drawing families and communities together. I could tell you story after story of things that took place during that time in my life as I'm sure you can regarding this event in your lives. This has obviously made you stronger women and strengthened the bond of love in your family. I pray that God will continue to bless your lives as you will obviously continue to grow to become exceptional young women.

    I understand your Dad's unstoppable determination. A man's family is his soul and no father would not give his last breath for that family he holds dear. This I know because I had to literally carry my 3 year old daughter out of the midst of a devastating cat 3 tornado and my only direction was dependence on God.. though much was lost, my daughter as well as myself were safe with just minor injuries.
    It truly doesn't matter to me what others think, Jesus has given us an inestimable gift by having access to God Himself through himself. I believe that is what kept and protected me and my young daughter, and as I reckon that is what gave your Dad the strength and direction to get you guys out....
    As we may be father's to our children, then so is God to us... Matthew 7...

ALWAYS keep multiple flashlights and extra batteries in every vehicle. I have a headlamp that will provide light for 4 hours on high. 6 hours on low. Every vehicle should have a backpack with one or two MREs, multiple ways to start fires, spare wool socks, and a lifestraw or sawyer water filter. Also a handfull of mylar blankets. Less than $2 each at walmart. Glad y'all made it out.

    Just came across your video. Can’t imagine what your family went through. I’ve subscribed. Now being 71 years old I took a nap soon after. I left You tube playing. I woke up to a beautiful piano playing. And looked at the screen to see who it was. There was a bible verse across the screen which accompanied the piano. It read “ When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they shall not over take you….. Isaiah 43 : 2. Now that was awesome . That verse stayed there for awhile as the piano continued. Had to share that with you.

The first time I saw the phosphorous moss was in Tennessee it was in a thick, high canopy forest. It gets really dark even when it's not raining. If you fortunate on one of your vacations at the beach you can experience tiny phosphorous baby jelly fish, the size of peas. Swimming at night with those glowing jellies is like living out some fantastic story book. Thanks again for bringing sunshine. Cheers!

I tried twice to get out, water was filling the inside of the car up, I put my head down and said Lord help, my next conscious thought was that I was walking through water. I went to my friends house and he and his dad went to the scene and found my car 150 down the road with all windows up and all doors locked. Devine intervention? I'm glad you all made it out ok.

    Emerald looks the same , but Jade looks so young in this video. I bet Dad was livid, his wife and kids in danger. You young ladies are full of surprises, I am so happy the family made it out together and safe.

    We had record flooding in Ferndale, Sumas and Everson WA this year. Thanks for your perspective on flooding and the dangers of not being prepared.

    Wonderful story of your Dad’s courage and persistence for the love of his family. No wonder you all are so strong. Every child needs parents like this strong and loving Mom and Dad!
    Lost my home here in WV in the 1985 flood of the Greenbrier River. . Built back 9’ in the air and the 1996 flood went right under me. We called it “Killing Waters!” Your story is surely one of love and survival! You have surely matured into two strong young women! Judah is lucky to have two big sisters like you all!
    Hail to the “Boss”!!!!!
