Hero volunteer!
The Hurricane Florence last week hit the southern part of the United State, causing deaths and injuries to 31 people. The victims are not only the people but also the animals there.
Aa video that shows a volunteer rescued six dogs that nearly drowned in the disaster area has gone viral on the Internet.
When the hurricane approached last week, dog owners in Leland, North Carolina, were eager to evacuate, leaving six dogs in a locked cage.
The video shows, Ryan Nichols, a volunteer from Texas, discovers them and wades in the knee-deep water to come for their aid. The dogs are standing on their hind legs, barking for help. Nichols walks towards the cage and rescues them. The dogs swim out, whimpering and howling.
Marcus DiPaola, the journalist who witnesses the dog-saving process, says on Twitter on Sunday that the water is deep enough to drown the dog.
Nichols has rescued six dogs and the video has reached 1.39 million views so far.
Hurricane Florence brought heavy rain to South and North Carolina, causing the water level of the river to skyrocket and flood everywhere. In North Carolina, the highest water level even reached 1.2 meters.
After the inland movement, Hurricane Florence continues to move northeast, with a maximum wind speed of 50 kilometers per hour and a maximum of 15 centimeters of rainfall. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) warned that West Virginia, Virginia, and Ohio may later be affected by the hurricane.
