The water was rising around her car, and Amanda Valentine thought she was going to die. She had just gotten a warning on her phone about flash flooding, and now it was all around her. “I called my parents like, ‘I'm going to die. Like I'm going to drown. There's no way for me to get out of this car,"' Valentine said. "And they couldn't help me. I called 911, and they told me they couldn't help me."
