While Johnson and his son searched for stranded neighbors he spotted one coupld walking through knee-hiigh water..

"Its, its... I have no words for it," said neighbor Michelle Hinton, "it's just crazy. Yesterday they floated us out on a raft me and my 8-month-old baby and my 4-year-old."

Larry Furhman says he's lived in his home since 1972 and has never seen flooding this bad.  He's preparing for his home to flood.

"Yeah, it's not in the house but if it keeps coming up it will be some time during the night and I don't want to do this in the middle of the night.

All along the evacuation route from Brazoria County, homes are sitting in several feet of water.  Some of the homeowners are determined to stay put.  Others are planning to get out.
