People and wildlife scooped up in Texas rescues

(30 Aug 2017) Rescue efforts are continuing for the residents of Katy, Texas in the wake of Hurricane Harvey. Ken Smith's family left the city on Saturday, while he hunkered down in their home hoping that the rising water levels would not submerge his house. After helping rescue some neighbours earlier in the week, Smith decided to leave after water levels became too high Wednesday, with over five feet of water outside his front door. It is not only residents who are being fished out of the water in Katy. Game wardens also rescued a male deer. Game Warden Mark Frayser, with a team of search and rescue game wardens, captured the buck and loaded it into a small dinghy. The buck bounded away from his rescuers after he was released on high, dry ground.
