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.

How dare they presume to eschew and usurp the services of our state-sanctioned protectors?!?!

This must not be tolerated, lest chaos and anarchy ensue ... !!!
