SAN ANTONIO – Tx \u2014 A Kerrville homeowner is thankful to be alive after being rescued from her home as floodwaters rushed in Thursday morning.<\/p>\n
Valerie Fox and her husband have lived on Hunters Way Rd for more than 25 years and they\u2019ve never seen Camp Meeting Creek that sits behind their home flood.<\/p>\n
But that changed on Thursday morning. Fox says when she opened her garage door, she was shocked to see water quickly approaching her home. She quickly closed her garage door and rushed to see if they could escape through the front door.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was water up to my waist,\u201d Fox said.<\/p>\n
Fox yelled for help to her neighbor who was sitting on his porch.<\/p>\n
\u201cI said, hey guys, we\u2019re trapped,\u201d Fox said. \u201cMy husband\u2019s got some health issues. They said hang on we\u2019ll come over and help you. He went around the house. It almost took him down the stream.\u201d<\/p>\n
Fox called 9-1-1 as the water rushed into her home. She says rescuers arrived within minutes.<\/p>\n
The Fox family says they are grateful to be alive, and they are now focusing on repairing their home.<\/p>\n
