SC-Flood victims waited hours for 911, family came to rescue instead

[Anti Federalist]

Picked this out of a larger story about flooding in South Carolina.

Hopefully a valuable lesson has been learned.



Hundreds of businesses, homes and apartments flooded, and dozens of boats fanned out to rescue trapped people.

Vladimir Gorrin said he led his 57-year-old aunt through floodwaters about 7 feet deep surrounding her apartment near Gills Creek.

He said his aunt, Wanda Laboy, waited several hours after calling 911, so family came to help.
