Firefighters helped recover the chauffeur of a mainly submerged truck.
" The man from the truck had actually already gotten out and was sitting on top of his roof," Peace stated.
The chauffeur of a 2nd SUV was brought to security by a do-gooder.
The lorries remain in the water. No one was injured.
" Yeah, do not cross it," Peace said. "Don't cross if you see water, particularly flowing like that."
