<div><p>As a tornado tore through Texas, Phillip Ocheltree made the decision to drive his wife, infant son and 2-year-old daughter away from the disaster that was yet to come. </p><p>As the family drove along the road just outside of Dallas, their black Chevrolet SUV hydroplaned and flipped off the highway. The family was trapped, upside down in the raging flood waters and time was running out. </p><p>The water was moving with too much force against the truck for Ocheltree to open the doors, although he desperately tried. </p><p>Thankfully, Tom Mitchell was driving by and saw the truck. He and others pulled up next to the truck as lightening flashed and tornado sirens wailed around them. Six men climbed into the rushing waters and began the desperate rescue mission.</p><amp-iframe sandbox="allow-scripts allow-same-origin" layout="responsive" frameborder="0" height="9" width="16" src="https://www.washingtonpost.com/video/c/embed/2e638b1a-2eb1-11e7-a335-fa0ae1940305"></amp-iframe><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/05/rescue-1-e1493644621118.png" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></figure></div><p>One man suddenly looks inside the back of the vehicle.
