If their house was under water, wouldn't a tent at the edge of their property also be under water?

First of all.....welcome to the forums @madie.
I think you did everything you could. Clearly, your friend is not thinking straight and lashing out at you is their coping mechanism.
Give it all some time and hopefully, they will apologize to you when they are under less stress. If not, you did nothing wrong. Your conscience should be clear.

These people are idiots. You did nothing wrong. You made a generous offer to house them. It was their choice to be irresponsible.

All through this narration, I was reminded of Aesop's fable about the ant and the grasshopper.
@madie This feels very much to me as a one sided friendship, and not much of a 'loss'. Stay safe.

@madie I'm sure you must be very distraught, but you are not responsible for their responsibilities. They may be directing their anger for the outcome at you (safe, easy outlet) but it is up to you not to accept that anger.
It's a sad situation and that poor dog but there is no guarantee you would have made it safely there to intervene anyway.
@fthunt thank goodness you weren't too bored to reply before leaving the thread

You did what you could, and they did nothing to prepare. Don't beat yourself up. I wouldn't call them friends.
