:01:13. > :01:16.streets of the vehicle to get to. The water is moving quickly and in
:01:17. > :01:25.these conditions making the wrong turning can quickly become a matter
:01:26. > :01:30.of life and death. We prayed a lot and we praised God and they were
:01:31. > :01:34.rescued so we are very thankful. You get the sense of just how quickly
:01:35. > :01:38.the situation is unfolding. The flooding clearly caught these

:03:48. > :03:56.through drawings and just dance and be themselves.
:03:57. > :03:59.So it's time for Carnival 2017 and I joined in with these guys
