A 6-month-old baby was pulled from her mother’s arms amid rising floodwaters in New Waverly, a small city north of Houston, Texas.

Firefighters confirmed the tragedy to ABC 13 and presume that the child is dead. The child was swept into the Winter Bayou.

Rescue teams were helping two men trapped inside a pickup truck when they heard someone crying for help.
