Randy Polly was driving to get some gas on Thursday morning when he witnessed a man saving the lives of an elderly woman and others who were trapped in a house as the water kept rising. Polly told CNN he heard some people yelling "Get me help, get help." He immediately called 911, but the rescue team was already overwhelmed by the neck-deep floodwaters and unable to answer any emergency calls.
