Summary
Lucas Marshall, 17, and Jonah Marshall, 15, used a borrowed kayak and paddleboard to pull a Palm Bay mother, her young son and their three dogs from a flooded home after they were stranded for hours.
Knee-high water poured into Brittany Grant’s house during heavy rain, forcing her and her son onto a kitchen counter; after 911 did not get help to them, she turned to Facebook, where neighbors saw her plea.
Rick Addante also helped rescue his 80-year-old neighbor—who had recently undergone open-heart surgery—and the man’s dog, Bella, as floodwaters rose inside another Palm Bay home.
The flooding spread across Brevard County, about 70 miles southeast of Orlando, and turned deadly when 34-year-old Joshua Bennett died after his vehicle became trapped in rising water.
