Residents of Houston have been rescued by helicopter, boat and now by Jet Ski. An older couple was rescued from their home earlier this week by a man on a Jet Ski after the pair was forced to stay on the second floor of their house for a few days as water levels rose as a result of Hurricane Harvey. A photo posted to Reddit shows Karen Spencer half way out her front door looking back at the camera smiling and sitting on the back of the Jet Ski, the floodwater filling up the house around her. An ABC news report on Wednesday identified the rescuers as Keith Christensen and Winston Savice Jr., and showed footage of the Spencers reuniting with the men and thanking them. The photo, which has been viewed about 768,000 times and received hundreds of comments, was taken by Karen’s husband, J.C. Spencer, their granddaughter Ivy James told the Star.
