## Summary

Lucas and Jonah Marshall, aged 17 and 15, helped rescue a mother, her 11-year-old son and their three dogs from their flooded Florida home. The family had been stranded on a kitchen counter as water rose, after the mother said three calls to 911 brought no help; the teenagers’ actions helped get them to safety.

Historic rainfall caused severe flooding in Brevard County, including the family’s home in Palm Bay, where water rose more than two feet. The boys and a neighbour used a paddleboard and borrowed kayak, taking the son out first. The family later found most of their belongings destroyed and the house needing extensive repairs, including the removal of four feet of drywall.
