Reynaldo in Bloomfield tells how he rushed out, and as the water rose in his welding truck, he banged on doors to wake the people and made three trips rushing his neighbors to safety, children on the tops of cars were among them. As the water covered the hood, police prevented his return for a fourth trip to rescue a woman on a rooftop. His horses were rescued, two were injured, but the family lost their sheep and their bulldog.
