Pickup drives in 8ft floodwaters after Hurricane Harvey

  • A video shows four men driving through very high floodwaters in Vidor, Texas
  • They holler and joke as the engine makes a grinding noise
  • The truck hits a deep spot where the water is almost up to the men’s necks in the cab and they can’t see the vehicle’s hood
  • Somehow the truck keeps moving and gets to a shallower spot as the water drains out of the cab

Four men braved eight-foot-deep floodwaters to drive through a Texas town to help out victims of Hurricane Harvey.

The footage was taken in Vidor about 100 miles east of Houston.

A group of men took a pickup truck out on the flooded streets to offer aid to those who were stranded.

They holler and joke with thick Texas accents as the engine makes a grinding noise 

Water spills over into the cab

The water is so high that it fills the cab of the truck. 

As they hit a deeper spot, the men start to yell with nervous excitement. 

‘Where’s the hood?’ one of them says as the water is so high that the green hood is barely visible. 

‘I’m driving with no steering wheel,’ the driver says as he tries to keep control of the vehicle.

The man taking the video is holding onto the outside of the passenger side door. 

Finally the waters get shallower and the cab starts to drain enough that the men’s legs are uncovered.

They continue on their way to help out stranded neighbors
