Do the rescuers have the yellow vests on?

There is so much water rushing through the area...

The guy on the roof is a rescuer, in the yellow vest. He gave one thru the window to the person inside.

I see a single rescuer on the rooftop. He appeared to lower something to the person(s) inside to harness around them. Wow! This is so scary to even watch!

The 2 that are talking on there both think the house has already slid......this is a double wide trailer............and they are not very safe in conditions like this.

I think it already moved and the trees are in the way of it moving more for now.
