Texas family clung to life on roof, capturing terrifying flooding in photos and video

Jane Towler was up late in a small cabin along the Guadalupe River as thunder boomed through a thrashing rain. It was 4 a.m. and water was pooling on the floor. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was her friend from a nearby cabin.

“Jane, we’re f—ed!” Brian Keeper said frantically. “The water’s in my house! Get out!”

Towler's grandfather bought the property in Texas Hill Country in the 1930s, and she's lived through many floods in her 70 years, losing a canoe or chairs here and there.
