I respect ppl that don't leave the animals
Em Paz well then you're heartless
Shiquita Jones Fuck off
they are FAMILY....
instaBlaster
love how they used what they could for the pups instead of leaving them behind like heartless people do, prayers for all the people and animals there
BeastUpp That's like saying, Oh my sister is trapped in her room, let's leave her to save my life! They are a living creature like you are and they deserve to live. And, that last statement is a lie, they won't kill you if you don't feed them.
Kate Dawnriver I'd definitely save my sister over a dog. That's two different scenarios.
BeastUpp bullshit your dog will eat you after a week of no food. Stop taking Game of Trones as fact base. It would go hunting not eat it's pack. Never get a dog idiot
I though it was a great idea to use the trash cans to help bring the dogs. Especially the 19 year old dog.
And while some pets would probably be ok if left on a second story with plenty of food and clean water it's not a good idea.
They could get loose, you might not be able to get back to them or find someone else who could. Or anything else could happen. So if you can it's really important to take them with you.
If I ever have to evacuate an area there's two things I'm taking my meds and my cats.
Myrcella Rykker They won't. In underdeveloped countries, there are hundreds or stray, hungry dogs and they just die of starvation but never attack any human to "eat" them.
Great job of documenting, Erin! I wish you and your family the best.

Mike Whiter thanks 👍🏼 lol jk my names erin
God bless all of the rescuers. They have got to be exhausted..
Dianne Enterkin and hungry and waterlogged
Dianne Enterkin I teared up when I saw the rescuers keep helping those in need.
Dianne Enterkin yeah I think one of the guys past out of hard work from helping others
Dianne Enterkin What it the Recusers don't believe in god.
Dianne Enterkin one of my favorite youtubers who is just awesome is a soldier and him and his unit went to Houston to help
The doggies!!! so cute
The King in the North jhon dont do that to your aunt please
Yes the doggies !!!!!!
May Sal ikr
She seems like a nice compassionate lady.
Photographers usually are.
Publius Cornelius Scipio Texas deserved the flood for supporting the monster you have on your profile pic lol
this site deserves better humans than you little shit!
Kawthar, what an evil POS you must be...assuming Muslim by your name. Typical.
Janette B im Muslim and i feel so srry for the people that lost their homes and their relatives and i cried so hard ! So plz stop judging muslim people based on one person ! 😪🙏
I feel bad for all the animals who didnt make it or got left behind😔
Ya Nasty they are living beings like u aashole who also want to love
i know there in my prayers but what makes me sad is just i cant even imagine there little faces when they heard the water without crying help all pets plssss!!!
Thomas Nguyen why did you direct that comment at me???
Yoda then i guess no one should get sad for the people who didnt make it because they are just people
Yoda are you fucking serious? "Just animals" you are a piece of revolting shit and you're just another living creature sadly.
I'm glad the doggies are safe!!
Oh my god. This is terrible! Hang in there, people. Keep helping each other, and you'll get through this.
WOW, thanks for being brave. My deep prayers are with everyone.
God bless everyone in Houston. Prayers all around.
God Bless her heart, what a compassionate woman to save her dogs and take them with her
If I wasn't 15, and lived all the way in South Dakota, I'd be out that helping. Stay safe, Texas, we're praying for you. ❤
I hope all involved have the same foresight to get to higher ground..... O my God please PLEASE BE CAREFUL AND SAFE....
If I was there I would get a boat and have fun :D
I'm just kidding don't hate
Praying for everyone in Texas
Julie Mathews You could do volunteer work or donate some clothes or food than just pray. In fact, it is better than praying.
Jerome Bulaon in fact, mostly anything else is better than praying, only things that are worse are things that are negative, because praying does nothing at all
Julie Mathews thanks
BeastUpp We're not used to this. Texas is NOT a hurricane state. We're not used to this degree of flooding.
+BeastUpp no we are not moron, as someone who lives in victoria tx this has not happened to me and is a first, houston has had some experience with floods though
I am from Holland And after seeying this i realise how bad it is And am gonna donate
Niels De vries donate prayers because we have enough of the other stuff
don't donate cash
My gosh, stay safe! the doggies look so scared =( good to see people (and pets) getting to safety.
Absolutely catastrophic. Those poor people and poor animals :(
Living in one of the areas affected by the flood we had to evacuate due to the quickly rising levels of water. Luckily we lived on the second floor so we had to shelter a family of six all while waiting for boats from people who aren't even from this area. My girlfriend and I had less than ten minutes to pack what we could and also had to carry out pups in a travel bag all while crawling in waist high water mind you I'm 6'2''. There were coast guards flying around the area evacuating people still trapped in the neighborhood across from us. On our way to safety we saw 18-wheelers submerged in water and roofs of houses barely showing. I want to thank every body who's either had our city in their thoughts as well as the people who came to aid not just us but everyone in the area.
I cried like a baby.
*I am just 17 years old and I wish I could travel down to Texas and help you all. I wouldn't leave a single soul behind. I wish you guys the best of luck.*
I would worry about the gators
Romeo Reyes they probably nicer than u n less judgmental and ignorant
Thomas Nguyen yea because the first thing a gator does when it sees some meat is too have tea with it and discuss day time t.v
Thomas Nguyen damn bru, fuck is your problem coming at people like that
How is he being rude you uncultured swine? I'd def. be afraid of gators and snakes. Hell no!
Oscar Yanes he aint got no feelings
Brave lady. Warrior! Hope your mom and sister are okay. My prayers go up for you, your family and all the people of Texas and Louisiana.
Wow..I'm just speechless..my heart broke for her mom. I'm sentimental about things and it would devastate me to leave them behind
heather jarrell true but at the moment youre just hoping to make it out
I hope their belongings at home made it through this mess relatively okay!!!!
this is why being 6 feet tall is awesome
While watching my heart was breaking for you and your family. God Bless all of you during this difficult time.
agree God bless all savers and all dogs
God Bless. Stay safe. Lots of love to you and your fam, including the fur babies.
FlyLotus9 😾 No! Stuff your pious piffle! Get up off your knees and do something worthwhile instead . . .
Wow prayers for all in Huston!😓
im so happy you guys are ok
Thank you Erin and mom for saving the precious pups. It is so heartwrenching to learn that many leave their pets behind to literally drown. Prayers for you, your mom and your sister and her family also. Prayers for Houston.
Your dogs are lucky to have you. Thank you for taking them along and not leaving them behind. God Bless!
I hope all of you guys are ok
3:36 WTF IS THAT ON THE BRIDGE?!
either a UFO or a utility / camera truck
hovercraft, we have those in Houston
Dark Trollers That seems like a camera bug
what are the government hiding from us
Dark Trollers a car or a truck.
I can't express how happy I am that you were able to get your mom and her dogs to safety(for a minute there I thought you were not going to make it).
I am in tears watching this. Sending my thoughts and prayers from Florida.
I'm sorry there's nothing I can do to help you and your family but just say a prayer.
Wandering Travels please hit subscribe button thankyou thats worth alot🖒
You can donate food, clothes, money, blood lots of things!!
pricila You shouldnt donate supplies during a flood because the people dont want to carry a ton of things
Potter,
Don't donate supplies?? Semi-trucks FULL of SUPPLIES have been driving into TX. Those people walked out of their houses with only the possessions they could carry.
They need clothes...or are they supposed to wear the same filthy clothes they walked through the water in?
They need hygiene supplies...or are they not supposed to shower, wash their hair and brush their teeth?
They need food....well, you get my point.
If you donate money, guess where it goes..... to buy SUPPLIES.
Thank you for filming this video.
Prayers for your family
On 29 Aug 2005 my home and entire community were destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. There was no loss of life in my family, but I knew eight others who died, including the parents of a close friend. Seeing the woman so upset about losing items of sentimental value brought back the same feelings I experienced. It isn't easy to lose photographs (very few were digital then) and treasured iitems that reflected your life, but you get through it. You soon realize it's just "stuff". Family, friends, neighbors, pets and community are the treasures. Value them and make things work.
You are doing an amazing Job! Sending strength and love to all of You!
Hope all of your family member is safe Erin! Godbless you
wish I could help not only financially, but physically. Sending prayers from New York
Sean B your prayers mean alot thankyou from HTOWN
Prayers are worth all the gold in the world.
And the money doesn't hurt.
I started helping gut houses today, dont worry EVERYONE and i mean EVERYONE is helping right now, its really awesome, all the people from out of state too
prayers are worth nothing!! Can't you see these people are suffering!! They need the army to save them. But everyone has abandoned them it seems. You can't even call the police anymore they won't answer!!!
Sean B same here
She was at the right place at the right time...I'm glad she could help her mother and the dogs! Thoughts and prayers with them and everybody in TX.
What a dear family. Their bravery gives us hope for the future! Take care and God bless.
me an my family are praying may God bless you😘
Please don't attach to materials when you're in a disaster like this. The only thing you can't replace is your loved ones. This was a hard lesson I learned after surviving Hurricane Katrina. Let go of the valuables and get out as quickly as you can. All I did was grab my wallet, my grandmother, my aunt and my cat in a carrier that was it. I lost so much and looking back I don't regret it. Stay safe you guys and take what is most valuable to you, your loved ones. My prayers are with you. ❤️
Who rescues animals and cares about them are beautiful souls are beautiful people thank you.
oh my god. Please donate everyone!! We must help these people!!!
Thank you for your coverage.
I got a water filter ad before this video
lol! Irony.
Fantastic of Erin Trieb to do this, and brave of her mother to attempt the longer walk in her grief and despair. It will take a while for the people who are hurt by this storm to come to terms with all they are feeling. My heart goes out to them.
Florida stands with our neighbors... prayers for Texas
Wow, it looks like the end of the world there. I live in Madrid and I feel bad for complaining about a light shower yesterday. Hope everyone stays safe.
Oh guys I wish you all the best of luck, but hey at least it's not cold so that's gotta be a positive tell your mum her and the dogs can stay here with me and my son until things get better I'm in Australia
I think thats too far...
Dean Macka thats one good thing about the weather its cool here 70 degrees Fahrenheit
Empathetic words rarely start with "at least". Lol
Dean Macka Don't you have floods also? My uncle lives in Brisbane and his house has flooded twice.
:)
Vamanos Ninja yeah we do but not many however when we get them there bad same as everywhere I guess. I'm in high ground so we are dry, we are in bush fire country so how about you guys save me a bucket of water lol
So nice she visits her family members
The best moments of these videos are how you all gather to save the animals. I really respect you all. God bless.
Take care of yourself and be strong 👍🏻
Thoughts and prayers. God bless
BeastUpp he did
Thank you for documenting! Ms. Trieb! Glad that you and your mom made it out!
I could not imagine having to look around my house knowing if I didn't save it then it would all be lost. Glad you all made it out safe, be strong.
Take care, you guys! ❤😭
Amazing footage. Stay safe if at all possible!
Thank you! God Bless you all!
So hard seeing people leave valuable things behind. Its so heart breaking
Every year we'll have to face this situations. Climate is changing fast. Just a few days ago in Bangladesh, we were struggling with flood like this.
steve b ya and now
Faisal Ahmed Americans are too greedy and stupid to accept climate change.
I remember the 2005 floods in Mumbai
Omg my parents are from Istanbul and we're in Huston
This is crazy. So raw. Sending positive vibes out to Texas. Stay strong.
I live on the water on Long Island and I remember Sandy. I'm was only 12 and I remember what the flooding was like and how the whole town smelled like oil and how the houses were empty and so many were destroyed/ burnt. I understand what it's like to go through devastation like this and I hope the best for all people effected by hurricane Harvey.
0:39 NOOOOO NOT THE WIFI!!!
WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU WAIT THAT LONG?!!
+Sam LSD no but you know what is? trying to evacuate the city and making way more people end up dying due to being stuck in traffic during a flood
I saw some guy say it went from dry to flood within an hour.
All the highways that people would have evactuated got flooded to the road signs at 16-20 feet high. If people would have evacuated, there would be thousands maybe a million people dead. Im from the houston area, and atfirst I thought it was stupid why they didnt make people evacuate, but looking at it now I think the mayor did the right call.
But we knew it was coming so why didn't people leave? We knew it was going going to be bad.
That little dog under the other dog made me smile under a stressful video
To see those rescuers help those children just makes my heart happy❤️please stay safe
If only people were more prepared...
.(
What differences would it make if they were prepared?
mom's sentimental clock would have been saved
HOUDINI43 no. Think before you reply.
Pandawee ha that's ironic
Ben Skelly I wish we even knew it was coming all I remember is hearing about it at school saying that there was going to be a tropical storm hitting so we didn’t expect anything just rain but out of nowhere it changed to a hurricane an from there on it got worse.
And I found out about this the Friday before the storm hit...
Worst thing is that water is mostly sewage
dennis Moreno no its not
dennis Moreno It's not like they're gonna drink it
Alligators!!! www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation-now/2017/08/29/350-alligators-could-escape-flooded-gator-farm-near-houston/614574001/
Snakes as well :/
I am watching with tears... it is hard to see but I am glad you got your mom and doggies out.
Brave woman. Good luck to you, your loved ones and pets.
I don't know anything like this !!! same in Mumbai and many cities in INDIA
Here's a word of advice build houses for the environment in which you are living in. For example a man lived in an area where there is a high risk of hurricanes and tornadoes. Every house on his block has been destroyed and rebuilt. We invest so much into our homes and the constant repair from storm damage could pose a heavy burden so he got the smart idea to build a dome house. Which is scientifically proven to be a stronger structure against storms.
KamidakeRed Yeah but no house is immune to flooding.
build it like they build it on islands that get flooded constantly. Theres always a solution even if it may seem unnecessary at first.
Jannis Richter they did but Hurricane Ike shredded them anyway
Hmm Let me think about that for a second......Yes.
Most of the time i wonder if people even understand my comments and you proved it. Clearly not.
Build homes that can survive storm like this is Key to ensuring the safety for the future of these areas and their people. If they just build the same type of structures they risk the same damage and potential loss of life in the future.
Also what else am i suppose to do? i don't live in Texas i cant time travel and save the lives that were lost all one can do is attempt to work toward a safer future. Also its not a GREEN THUMB its common freaking sense that has proven to work.
That fact that you believe its a green thumb shows how little you understand in regards to Science. People tend to never think about where they live and how the environment could harmfully effect them in this case Hurricane and massive flooding. In California wild fires and Earth Quakes. Everyone gets infatuated with old structural shapes Aka the standard homes being built. That house gets destroyed and everyone starts crying. But they know where they were living right. But the mentality is that it will never happen to me ..... Until it dose. Sometime i think people enjoy the Chaos so later they can pretend to be Caring and concerned. But the Real Caring person would have made sure the problem wouldn't have happened in the first place,
I feel so bad for your mom it almost made me cry 😭 I bless u and ur mom for saving ur dogs as well
So sorry for all your loss. It's heart breaking 😢.
atleast they dont half to worry bout watering thier garden
Well yeah Mike, at least there's that.
SMH
lol
One tough & caring lady! Dogs are so cute. This is the first video I've seen that really makes me see & feel how the flooding affected people in Houston. The fact that (IMO) Harvey was created & controlled by US govt. weather terrorists makes me furious they would do this to the wonderful people of TX to further their agenda. Then Irma in FL & where next? 80% of the population lives on the coastline, so what's their plan for us?
Prayers for you and your family, Erin...bless you all.
I'm crying because of the dogs and the people 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😿😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
😢😢😢😢😢I FELL VERY BAD IM SL SORRY THAT HAD TO HAPPEND AND,I Fell Bad For the Animals that did not make it or the people that did not make it too😔😢😢 plus watch out for crokidialls idk how to spell it drry
Itz_Emely 20973 crocodiles, there you go
Itz_Emely 20973 also I think alligators are a bigger threat
Honestly just let the dogs swim. Tf. It's just water. Fkin enjoy it dammit
Glad your mom and pups made it safe...I wish you sunshine and love...Jayne
Thank you for sharing this. I hope Erin and her family are safe.
Terrible time to realize you need boots.
Hope you don't get looted. Goodluck.
Какие русские лица,и не дай бог такое пережить,как и пожар.
Лилия Баязитова are you hacking an election
Democrats are SCUM Nuke mecca she's sympathising people affected by the hurricane. why do you need to be so nasty towards people smh.
neosomato hypergenesis Texans ALWAYS have bbq sauce in the fridge
she is committed to everything she does
I'm so glad that they took the dogs with them❤️
Get out of that sewage water
themrjones why
Pecco Because it contains sewage (shit and piss), diseases, bacteria, and a whole lot of nope.
themrjones بق
themrjones which is probably 5 percent of the water. Which with so much water would not be much.
Flood, disaster for Americans, an everyday thing to us back in the Philippines
I love her. I cried when I heard some people left their pets behind to suffer and die. I hope everything will be ok, I hope u will be ok, I pray for Houston, and everyone in it suffering right now. Amen.
So sad. Hope everyone survives and gets much needed support.
Global warming comes right back at ya
Adrian Monroy oh stop it
andrew james what's that supposed to mean?
jayden smith I think he means there have been hurricanes since the beginning of time and this has nothing to do with global warming! So ridiculous, there were some of the worst hurricanes ever in the 1800's and even before..was just waiting for all the global warming idiots to come out..
Lisa DC everything that has happened, has happened since the beginning of time, no one of global warming is the only cause of hurricanes, only that they are more frequent and severe
Just build a Wall and you will be fine
BeastUpp build a wall above the hurricane..
BeastUpp Its almost ludicrous that you actually had to explain that.
The flood comes from above.
I think it might get worse if you do…
Kim Jong-Un um....that would keep that water in.... You need a giant umbrella
So devastating!!! I hope your mom will be ok! I'm 53 years old with 3 dogs. (I have a 16 year old dachshund, Mikey)
and 3 cats. I've had 2 heart attacks. I can't imagine how scared and helpless I'd feel!!!
amazing, thank you for posting this intimate look into this family's dealing with Hurricane harvey
