A Florida man used his experience as a former rescue diver and police officer to rescue his mother when the storm surge from Hurricane Ian overtook her home.
"I made my way to the corner, grabbing on to anything I could," he said."At times my feet were lifted up and I had to kick, and other times when I was lucky, I could get a footing and just push.""I asked God, please send me a boat, and low and behold, there was a boat next to me," he said."But unfortunately, it was chained up and didn’t have keys, but thankfully there was a life jacket and cushion that floated in it, so I grabbed that and used that for my mom.
Lauder and his family lost two homes and all of their possessions in Hurricane Ian, but they still have each other.
