The person who wrote this account wants you to read it and to know their story. But sure, you go ahead and keep telling yourself that turning away makes you a superior person. Thanks for sharing this, OP.
But why? And why so soon after? Questions to ask.

I find the courage, bravery, survival skills, and kindness of others uplifting. We can’t control what bad things happen to us. We can control how we react, and how we support our fellow neighbors.

Yes. I agree it was well written and conveyed the horror and reality of the flood. I thought it glossed over that with four adult men present it was the lone woman/mom who was left trying to protect BOTH kids and to keep all three of them alive. I thought it glossed over that while it was beginning she was trying to keep the kids on the counter, the dad/husband was holding the sliding door, and the author and his husband were doing what? Why didn’t one of them help protect the kids?
