Dramatic images show son rescuing 86-year-old mother from Ian's floodwaters in Florida

In one photo, Johnny Lauder's 86-year-old mother is in her Florida home, submerged nearly to her shoulders in black murky water, staring straight at the camera, mouth open.

In this photo provided by Johnny Lauder, Lauder's mother, Karen Lauder, 86, is submerged nearly to her shoulders in water that has flooded her home, in Naples, Fla., Wednesday, Sept. 28, 2022, following Hurricane Ian. "That's how I unintentionally documented the whole ordeal," he said. Instead, Ian ravaged Florida as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded in the U.S. and sent more than 3 feet of water around her home, trapping her inside. She called her son for help.

He put her on a table and bundled her in dry sheets from a high shelf. He worried about the sores around her body - open wounds that were dangerously susceptible to infection in the bacteria-ridden floodwater. Lauder said his mom was later taken to a hospital, because she had some infections."But they were treated, and she's warm. She's in a soft comfy bed. She's good," he added.

She must have been so frightened

This guy really had his mother pose for pictures to display her plight before making a maneuver to help her out of it. clownshoes

Is Mother Nature crying from all the pain we have caused her. We consume 110 Million Barrels of oil per day and smoke close to 2 Billion Cigarettes per day. I would cry too if I was Mother Nature.

And the first thing you thought to DO was record your rescue?

Thank God he got to her in time. All blessings to the people of Florida.
