  A Citronelle Family is breathing a sigh of relief this morning. They were rescued after rising flood water from a nearby creek trapped them inside their home on Robert Walker Road. Citronelle firefighters had to borrow a boat and one by one, brought six family members, including a newborn baby, to higher ground. One family member told News 5 that the water got as high as her thighs inside their kitchen and her dogs were underwater. She was thankful that the crews came and rescued them and their dogs. Theresa Walker says the flooding was a surprise because the creek didn't even overflow during Hurricane Katrina.

Thanks for the info SamRock.  I didn’t think that would have gotten by me so easily, but I don’t trust my memory as much as I used to. lol

Good Morning BamaBob. You didn’t miss that earlier. They inserted it later. I reread the story when you first posted. I thought the same thing.

Good!  I missed that the first time I read the story.  I could picture those poor dogs left under water trying to find some high ground.

“She was thankful that the crews came and rescued them and their dogs.”

In the story

Did they rescue the dogs?
