God bless Harvey Jackson, wish I could help him

Distraught resident Harvey Jackson told a local television station about losing his wife in the floodwater as they stood on their roof. (Watch the video report of a husband whose wife slipped from his grip -- 1:07 )

"I held her hand as tight as I could and she told me, 'You can't hold me.' She said 'Take care of the kids and the grandkids,' " he sobbed.

Just heartbreaking. :cry:

The reporter was even choked up...I hope he got some assistance and with any luck, finds his wife.
