Hurricane Harvey brought not only a devastating storm and the whirlwind, but also one of the most devastating floods for the last 500 years. Thousands of Texans tried to escape from the flooded cities, a 73-year-old Vilma Jin, Ellis was one of them.
Carl Ellis and his mother Wilma were in my truck. The water quickly came up to their knees. Just at that moment they saw a small life boat that came up to him. The boat was only room for one, and the man, without hesitation, helped her mother to get in. The vessel had life jackets, but the trip had to be short-lived, and rescuers promised to quickly go back for Carl. But as it turned out, it was the last time a man saw the rescue workers and her mother.
As it turned out, after that, Wilma Jin was on the verge of death. A resident of Houston Desmond Clark became the eyewitness of how the boat, which was Wilma overturned.
«They tried to turn right, but the boat capsized, said Desmond Clark. – I didn’t see that someone went for it.»
The woman floating face down, found the members of the informal organizations from Louisiana, known as the Navy Cajun. Despite the fact that Vilma seemed dead, they revived her and brought back to life. This moment was broadcast on all national channels and was discussed in social networks as an example of heroism.

While in the hospital it was almost impossible to get to. The boatmen took Ms. Ellis in the closest dry area – near a kindergarten and a gas station. One of her saviors Joshua Lincoln took a picture of Wilma close-up to post photos in social networks, and to help the woman to find relatives.
Later, Lincoln told reporters that the woman returned to her family, but it wasn’t. Afterthought, relatives began calling all the hospitals and shelters. Lincoln joined the search after learning that she never met the family.
Wilma Ellis I love you always, so grateful to Jehovah that you are here with us.

And only 4 days later, on Thursday, sister Vilma – chayna Davis got a call from the morgue. Family couldn’t believe the woman’s death, because they saw a photo where Wilma was saved. The results of the medical examination, the woman died from drowning. This is even more confusing family, because, according to Lincoln, the woman was in a safe place.
The family left a lot of questions that they are unlikely to find answers to: «Why the photo of Wilma clothing dry if it has recently pulled out of the water? Where it went after it was brought to the Park?» And the main question: «What was the cause of her death?» On the answers to these questions we can only guess.
