Whilst humans were able to evacuate before the floods hit, animals like raccoons, opossums, and armadilloswere left trapped in the flooded woods. The animals were seen clinging to tall branches so that they didn't get swept away by the rising water.The Williams brothers saw all the poor creaturesin distress and knew their chances of survival were slim. So theydecided to taketheir boat out and fill it with as many animals as possible.

A real-life Noah's Ark story, they carried the animals around in their boat until the water level started to go down. Frankie Williams toldThe Dodo :
I grew up with a great passion for the outdoors. I hate to see any animal suffer.
If you have a few minutes this is definitely worth watching. Three possums and an armadillo, not to mention Joe Williams waders tripping him up several times.“For licensing/usage, email [email protected]”Posted by Frankie Williams on Thursday, March 10, 2016
