Water rescue in East Baton Rouge Parish by off-duty Lafourche Sheriff deputies after historic floods

[@lindafish7672]

The patience these Sheriffs show is commendable, God bless all of them. It is a horrible situation.

[@maworthy3991]

My heart goes out to everyone. I'm just glad you guys were rescued. Great job gentlemen! !!

[@doobersmanster]

Love dogs. They make life worth living.

[@annettesh75]

Great Job guys...and girl. I am so sorry your town and people had to suffer through this. Thank God we still help one another in tragedy. Blessings and prayers to all.

[@CajunLady333]

Y'all are some real good guys and lady to be helping people out in this way. Very loving

[@kataisa3]

Look at that: people helping out other people and their pets without resorting to acting like animals, looting and such. Faith in humanity restored!

[@kataisa3]

Um, I wasn't referring to or even thinking about race. You're projecting your own racist attitudes onto me. Stop it.

[@Peter_From_Lowell]

Great job by the Sheriffs Department, and to the deputies that stepped up off duty. I can't imagine being that family and leaving your destroyed home. Prayers go out to all the families and to the first responders dealing with this tragedy.

[@JONLOVESLORI]

Proud very proud so nice to see people helping

[@aliciadoldan5531]

Gracias por su amor. Gracias

[@servantofmylord]

Thank God for a battlion of "Good ole Boys" (meant in a loving and respectful way) who are willing to get out there with their boats to help others. This is the true spirit of the South.

[@dawnaarmstrong5808]

Watching these people restores my faith in human beings, it also breaks my heart. God Bless these people!

[@Beth2638]

How could anyone dislike this video that shows the true heart and bravery of Louisiana citizens and their dogs? Our prayers are with you all. God bless, and we are so thankful that everyone made it out safely. Thank you for posting this.

[@allfurone]

You are amazing! Thank you so much for saving the animals, also! Great work!

[@joyceanderson8343]

God Bless you all. Saying prayers for a speedy recovery.

[@josephgardiner9866]

Watching this is very disturbing to me but it's the same time it makes me believe that there are still wonderful people out there in our country, I truly am grateful for you guys helping all those people you could and animals. I travel all up and down the Northeast Coast and Midwest I am a truck driver. I was actually born in Fort Meade Maryland in the county of Anne Arundel. So I believe I have a great feeling for Maryland and it's people because I was born there. I truly love passing through Maryland it is a beautiful state with amazing people. Thank you again for helping so many people. I can't imagine going through such a traumatic event of losing everything that you have work so hard for. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers. I apologize for any grammar mistakes I'm using voice to text to safer way for me to text and drive through my Bluetooth headset.

God Bless All Who Are Helping!

[@IsaiahThirtyTwenty]

This shows the best of human nature. God bless those selfless folks. So patient and kind to save people and animals.

[@mariel.4566]

Amazing work guys. You are the real deal. God bless you

Glad to see everyone out even the dogs

[@carolynshippen629]

I am so thankful for people who are sticking to together and helping each other. I am praying for everyone who has lost so much! Things can be replaces but people can't. Keep up the good work !

[@elizabethluker8356]

God bless these guys ... they are soo kind and patient. Our prayers are with Louisiana!

[@markviereck4547]

Great job, I can't imagine losing your home like this.

[@safehavensanctuary-hollyg.8814]

Thank God there are people willing to put their life on hold and placed themselves in jeopardy to rescue others. I cannot imagine what it must be like to see your home completely submerged in flood waters. I was surprised to see how much stuff the family took with them and very happy to see the dogs go out of the house right away before some of the family members. My heart still breaks with what happen in Katrina. So many animals abandoned, killed or left tied in the backyards to die a slow terrifying death by drowning when the families left. May that never ever happen again. How long before the flood waters recede enough for families to return to their homes and will it likely be a total loss due to mold for most of these homes?

[@edithvaldez6697]

May God Bless you all rescue guys.😒🌷😇😇😇

[@mamaknows1062]

Thank all you hero's for your time and effort. Praying for all of you affected by this bizarre weather. And thank you for taking time to film this and show the way a rescue ought to go. Even the dogs knew don't go in the water. And thank you so much for taking your dogs with you and not leaving them as so many did. Blessings to you all.

[@kidreese2255]

the feeling I get when I watch this video... this is how the world should be. people helping people. great and touching to see in my home city.

[@melswanson502]

Amen!

This is just unreal to me all the footage and images of this devastating flood. Kudos to all of the people who went out to help other people. Y'all are heroes! Hard to see Baton Rouge like that. It's my hometown so it breaks my heart. I can't imagine what all of the flood victims are going through. Feel so bad for these people. Stay strong Baton Rouge. I'm praying for everyone.

[@bevyk777]

[@kwees8579]

You should always have an emergency bug out bag so you don't have to lug around a lot of stuff, but praying for you guys. God bless.

[@meganstroud3047]

great rescue

[@LinhHoang-hk9yg]

I love how they dragging the small boat :)

[@marjamada]

Nicely done. Would it not be smart for people living in potential flood areas to keep a kayak or two or canoe in their attic or upstairs? Especially overweight people like these who can't swim. I worked in disaster relief and noticed that obese people have two strikes against them from the start, simply because they can't move around well. And they are hard to carry. And they can't help rescue others.

[@ammylover1]

I think everyone should, cause swimming in flood waters could be dangerous !

[@brewster102]

I read where the amount of water was equal to 10 days flow of the Mississippi river--dumping on that area in 24 hours.

[@myleemarie5948]

U guys deserve more subs

[@melaniemartinezisawesome2945]

my best friend lives in baton Rouge i text her everyday but she has never answered i havent heard from her since the flood started i hope she is ok

I wish I could take a week off work and go help ...

Wow, I would be over-whelmed, wow!

Great job!

[@evamedina6457]

so beatiful !!!!😊

[@highoninfinity]

Its heartbreaking what has happened to BR, Denim Springs, Livingston, etc. I live in EBR Parish and I'm scared the water will get to my house soon.. Everyone stay safe and stay strong ❤️

[@melswanson502]

Hope you made it ok. We went through this in Bossier City, Louisiana this year. It's always best to just leave before you have to be rescued. We woke up to it being too high. Talk about scary! So we were rescued by firemen in a boat (3 adults, 4 teenage boys and 4 dogs, me in a wheelchair). I'm sure they thought we were crazy having that many lives in our house, lol. Big house though.

[@tsunamibyraiin7452]

Wow great Job. On a different note did she ask them do yall want to come down stairs or come through the window,

[@iamtheghost6714]

At least the dogs are safe

[@CachoTelch]

Rest in peace those fellas

[@mynameislove7605]

that billions of dollars for weapons to Saudi Arabia needs to be spent here at home for the people in baton rouge Louisiana!!

[@MrBobconner1952]

Sad as hell. So many homes ruined. When Katrina hit, the buildings that weren't outright destroyed had to be demolished because of the black mold. Those people are tough as nails.

[@milsimmike1419]

RACED

[@eric.bloodaxe2819]

Lived in Louisiana for years, got flooded out as well. Seems to be a fact of life for that area. Don't know why people don't build all concrete or block homes like in Florida. Drywall does not do well with moisture. Nonetheless, sorry to see bad things happen to good people.

[@flyazzbyrd2344]

Nice photo opp

[@loueezyrap]

my step dad swam like half a mile down old hammond to check on my mother and I it was crazy

[@saintboudreau1545]

expensive homes high taxes now ask your town admin why permit to build n flood plain than SUE THEM this is it people you against your greedy gov...........wonderful rescue people GOD BLESS

[@melswanson502]

This is actually not in a flood zone. Most of these people don't have flood insurance because of it. This particular area has never flooded like this. I'm from north Louisiana. Last year we had a major flood and never recovered. It caused all the tributaries from the Red River to flood down south, including this area. Then we flooded again this year, and we had to be evacuated by boat also. We woke up to water to high to get out. We had flood insurance thankfully. So, these 2 floods made it to where south Louisiana waters were too high to drain the rapid rainfall. Point being, they didn't build in a flood zone necessarily. The entire state has been a flood zone for the past year, and it's almost impossible to get flood insurance with the waterways still above normal levels. Nothing they could do.

[@blake3281]

I got about 3 foot of water in my house because of this flood and were remodeling our house now

[@mrdeliriousfloyd7703]

my house got flooded to. I know the feeling

[@dmoney_pimpslap]

Nicely done but those life jackets would be better if they were on people instead of being wrapped in plastic. ;)

[@evangeliodedios6673]

you guys are realy underwater town

[@wehavealwaysbeenanointed4929]

God bless you all, may the good lord almighty, protect and give you guidance, in your time of need. My sweet loving Jesus, show mercy on all those who are struggling with their loss of spouse, House, automobiles family members, animals. Jesus I ask that your able, to lift the spirits of all those, who are in need. Give them strength, give them shelter, give them nourishment in your name and scripture. Help your church that has been scattered, come together and count their blessings. Starting with you, Jesus Christ. The name above all names! For you have said in many ways, that you did not come for the wealthy with homes and fine furnishings, you came for the poor, to save their souls, to let them know that they should always seek the kingdom of God, which is inside of us all. Jesus, have mercy on all the people of the world, we all suffer in someway. Help us to cast aside our wants, and to keep our focus you. I say these these prayers in your name, Jesus Christ, amen!

[@toodleloo2253]

When I went through bad hurricane storms in Virginia, I learned the best people are fellow Americans around you!! One family in Maryland offered me their last water bottles-so caring!! The only states that had worse predictions for Flooding disasters were FL, NY, & #1-Louisiana!!!- always came in #1 for impact by climate change. :/

[@escaliper7190]

I live in baton rouge and the national guard was there all around Louisiana to help out but lots of people from the Cajun navy helped because they don't want to leave anybody behind.

[@peter-tk2bl]

poopy loopy

[@skunkhome]

Escaliper, we were rescued by the Louisiana National Guard out of Alexandria, LA after we swam out in the middle of the night. There is no government larger enough to be little more than hapless when people are trapped over thousands of square miles of flooded terrain accessible only by boat. The day was saved by the hundreds of ordinary citizens that sacrificed their own boats, gasoline and precious time to go out and search for people in need. We owe a debt to the Cajun Navy that can only be repaid with like service.

[@angelisone]

How many days did it rain to have so much water? I am truly sorry.

[@Rouxgarou96]

it was pouring down all week long
