What a hero. Glad the nurse is safe. She was only going to work to save others. What's happening in Flda is heartbreaking.

[unchargedpickles]

And he carried her purse too, what a gentleman 👏

Lost a colleague that drowned in his car in this thing. Car got wedged between two trees in a ditch that blocked his doors from opening, water filled ditch, and I guess was unable to lower or break out windows. Rest In Peace Glenn. You’ll be missed!

Hats off to the nurse as well! Absolutely 🙏🏾🫶🏽❤️❤️❤️

During times like these, we are brought together by the love between us and the beauty of humanity. Soon we will once again return to the political rifts that we allow to pull us apart. But let these moments serve as a reminder that we are all human, and that the world needs more love and unity, not hate and division.

She could have walked through that water. It was like knee high

[celticwarrior]

Wow she's tough being out there bless her heart

[ebazileyes]

That's very kind of him. God bkess him and thank God for saving the lady.

[wucviff]

Omg he is an earth Angel for that ....wow so scarey
Going to work almost cost her ....her own life...

[Browmacist]

Poor lady looks like she may have a serious fear of water 😮🙏🏼

[griffin]

why didnt she just walk with him why did she have to be carried ?

[bywaterbeatsproduction]

that nurse shouldn't have had to have been driving to work in those conditions in the first place. File suit against your job nurse lady. They wrong for that

[NeverMetTheGuy]

It's nice to see huge media companies reporting PEOPLE HELPING EACH OTHER for a change. Good on you. Can you do this more? Maybe it'll help the country come together a little bit, eh?

[Amar-viht]

She can walk same as he 😂, real gentleman

[yvonneplant]

This actually makes me think of some scenes from Katrina.

[jacquelineking]

This is Man at his BEST! Protecting us! Boom! I was never afraid w Strong Man around! Thank GOD!!

[barbielacay]

Ok she did not have to go on his back. Really!!!

[mattp]

Knee- deep water and she was stranded. These are the type of people that drain emergency resources, fortunately a camera crew was conveniently there.

[leiag]

This is why so many people will die in a crisis event cause they will care more about their job than their own lives and families. That lady could be dead this morning and for what? Work!!

was this woman paralyzed? seems more dangerous for someone to carry her through water, than her to wade through it next to him. Dude tried to get her off when they were at ankle level water, and she just pulls the yellow tape up like "keep going". this video is HILARIOUS.
