A viral social media post was pleading to get rescue crews to a group of elderly people who were reportedly trapped during flooding in Texas.
According to Galvnews.com on Sunday, 15 senior citizens were rescued from a Dickinson assisted living center.
Dickinson emergency management coordinator David Popoff told the website that they were rescued on Sunday afternoon from La Vita Bella.
“We were air-lifting grandmothers and grandfathers,” Popoff said.
A person in Florida sent the original tweet, which was retweeted thousands of times.
Kimberly McIntosh, daughter of the facility’s owner, told the paper: “[My mom] said it was a disaster and they were hoping the national guard would come.”
