A retired nurse, her son and a family friend say they were lucky to survive last week's flash floods in Texas that killed more than 100 people, including many summer campers. Jane Towler says she got a call at around 4 a.m. last Friday from a friend in a neighboring cabin telling her the Guadalupe River was rising quickly and to get to safety. Towler ran next door to warn her son, their family friend and the woman's young daughter. Videos Towler shot show how quickly the cottage filled with water and how they had to flee to the attic and then the roof, where they waited out the night amid lightning, shouts and widespread destruction.
