Callie Brown's family did not evacuate, and the storm surge nearly reached the ceiling in their one-story home in Fort Myers, Florida. With her baby in a plastic bin, the new mom started swimming out of her house to avoid drowning. After scouring the attic, the couple dumped some Tupperware bins filled with old holiday decorations.
As they floated by their neighbor's home, they noticed them sitting in kayaks and holding on to the side of their house."Are you okay?" she yelled. "And of course, their answer was, ‘no.’""And we shouted, ‘no,’ as we just got sucked down the road," said Brown as they were kicking and holding on for dear life to each other and the Tupperware bins.The water ended up pulling the family up into an RV camper three houses down.
