    Imagine everything he needed was in his path to his mum's house. The life jacket and the kayak. The angels were there with him and his family. What an amazing story. He seems really nice.

      He almost didn't rescue her at the right time. If he took much more time getting his camera ready or moving slow enough that he could make sure he was in frame at all times, she may have drowned. Imagine if he dropped his camera. Then he would have wasted more time to retrieve it. He even paused to take a picture of her and a selfie with her before getting her out of the water. If it was my mom, #1, she would have been at my house or I would have been at hers and #2, if I thought my mom was in trouble enough that I needed to go out in rising flood waters, I damn sure wouldn't think to record it.

An attic crawl space to save his mother that he abandoned in the first place? All the while, his own family was at risk of drowning. For what? To show off? “She refused to leave.” Ok bye then. Or “she refused to leave…so I threw her over my shoulder and brought her to the ‘safety’ of my own home that was also under water.” Glad they made it out. Hope the infections are healing smoothly.

      Or his house full of furniture that wasn’t damaged, even though when he opened the window the water was chest- high.I was blinded by the fact that his hat was completely perfectly situated on his head and completely dry, I was blinded by the fact that his face didn’t have a splash of water on it. I was also blinded by the fact that he he didn’t know whether his mother was taking her last breath or not. But he had time for a Selfies. What a crap Of Shiite. Aside from the fact that he left this woman at home in a wheelchair with one leg in the middle of a category five hurricane ridiculous. He should’ve thought this story through a little better.
      it’s just amazing that’s so many people are falling for it.

Let's be honest, the mom was probably too stubborn to leave her house. And the son and his kids didn't want to stay at her house either.

Since then I ask for guidance and protection and then commit to action. I was a firefighter for just short of 25 yrs. and had a sense things might not end well a few times over the years. I would then as I said ask for guidance and protection and would feel a sense of the load being shared and my mind clearing for action. Being on North Central Gulf have been in a number of 'canes too.
