After more than a foot of rain, flooded streets in Brevard County sat too deep for ordinary cars. Locals in lifted utility vehicles, a crew known as the Redneck Rescue Unit, answered dozens of calls and ferried neighbors and pets out, FOX 35 Orlando reported.
Sheriff Wayne Ivey called Cody Kisner and the crew true heroes. The rescues were volunteer trips on streets regular vehicles could not reach, not a county fleet. The story is the neighbors who went out in the storm and the people and animals they brought to dry ground.
