| Description | Virginia National Guard Soldiers trudged through high water and cut trees to clear a path for two rescue missions that transported seven adults and one child to safety at two locations on Cattail Road in the Mears, Va. area Oct. 30. The rescue mission took place two days after another high water transport required carrying a citizen who was unable to walk more than 200 yards through chest-high water. Virginia State Police had asked the Soldiers to conduct health and welfare checks at two locations they had not been able to reach. At the first location, the Soldiers had to cut through trees to enable their medium tactical truck access to the house where a family of five, including a young child, needed assistance to leave their house that was surrounded by high water. At the second location, Soldiers had to trudge through two miles of high water, cutting trees as they went, but unable to get their truck to the house where a husband and wife needed evacuation. Using the family's boat, the Soldiers guided them about half a mile through the high water, then walked the rest of the way to the truck for evacuation. Both groups were evacuated to family members whose homes were not threatened by high water. (Photo by Command Sgt. Maj. Dennis Green, Virginia National Guard) |
