Amid the catastrophic flooding that has devastated the Hill Country, leaving behind unimaginable loss, one Texas resident’s terrifying survival story is pretty interesting. Christian Fell spent nearly three hours trapped in floodwaters, clinging to a shaky spot, before help arrived. His story reveals just how fast and destructive the rising waters were as Ted Cruz vacationed far away. The disaster claimed at least 104 lives in the area so far, a number that keeps growing.
As detailed in an interview with CNN, Fell’s nightmare didn’t start with a loud emergency alert but with the familiar sound of thunder. He woke up in the middle of the night, thinking it was just another storm. But strange noises coming from deeper inside his house made him get up to check. When he put his feet over the side of his bed, he realized he was standing in water.
