Henri, Ian, and Zoe Marlowe, are triplets from Western North Carolina. They were caught in rising floodwaters with their cat, during the hurricane.
They got trapped in their house, and had nowhere to go. Their car, Pumpkin was with them also. They thought quickly and climbed onto the kitchen counters.
As the force of the floods broke their doors, the logs from the nearby lumber yard filled in.
“We just sat on the counter and the only thing we could do was pray and about 30 minutes later the water started receding,” Ian said.
After the rain stopped, triplets took their cat and ran outside. To their luck, their house was the only building standing still.
“My dad built this big dirt berm around the house because he thought it was going to explode and he’d rather have it blow the dirt on the house instead of pieces of the tank hit the house, but since the flood all of the water got directed around the house and it swept everything away but the house.” Henri said.
Their father wasn’t in the house when the hurricane hit, as he was in hospital after his cancer diagnosis and knee surgery.
Zoe was able to document their returning to the safety. They were devastated with what they saw.
“The entire house is completely gone, we haven’t been able to find anything, but these toys were what he played with when he was a kid. So these toys are the most important thing to my dad at the moment and this is all we could save.”
The triplets are expecting help from other people, as they had launched a GoFundMe page.
