VIDEO: Arizona family visiting Whatcom County for the holidays rescued from floodwaterWHATCOM COUNTY, Wash. — A family visiting Whatcom County from Arizona got caught in a tricky situation Tuesday when their SUV was caught in rapidly-rising floodwaters.
“The water was probably up to our ankles, so our shoes were a little wet … We figured we were OK,” said Dave Pelcic.“I probably got maybe 200 yards … and then the car just died,” said Dave Pelcic. “A lot of debris was hitting the car, so the car started bobbing and then eventually, when we finally abandoned the car, that was when water was now already starting to come in,” said Dave Pelcic. “I mean, it was a matter of less than 10 minutes I would say by the time it started getting into the car.”
Lorrie’s boat had floated away, so the family waded waist-deep through the cold, hard current toward her.
