The floods in southeast Texas trapped thousands of people over the past week, since it’s virtually impossible to drive anywhere.  So these two people improvised.

Cathy Rude is a midwife in Katy, Texas and she needed to get to work this week . . . since, you know, babies don’t care about flooding.  So she got her hands on a large inflatable SWAN, and rode it to work.

She posted a photo of herself on Facebook and wrote, quote, “Midwives will do anything to get to a birth.”

Meanwhile, about 300 miles north in Millsap, Texas, a guy named Cole Geeo figured out a way to help his neighbors who were trapped in their houses . . . with his MONSTER TRUCK.

Cole has his own homemade monster truck, which he built out of his Ford F-150 pickup truck and 63-inch wheels.  And it was tall enough to ride through the floods.

He helped neighbors get out of their homes and even helped people who’d gotten stuck driving on the roads
