Early this morning I watched a news reporter put down his mic and wade out into water chest high to go rescue a lady stranded in her vehicle from behind where he was reporting. Her car was submerged to the point that the water was up to her shoulders. She was screaming for help while he was doing his report. At first, he yelled to her that first responders were on their way. As the water began to fill up her car further, she was screaming for help even louder than before.
The reporter cut his report short and said he was going to go out into the rising water behind the police tape and try to help get her out.
