Hurricane Ian: Evacuees rescue drowning baby deer from floodwater

You must have come across various wild animal rescue operation videos and images on the internet.

Despite the fact that animals are physically stronger than people, there are still some situations and places in this world where the brute creations lack the necessary ability and do need human help.

In one such incident, a man in the United States recently stepped up to help wildlife when Hurricane Ian hit Florida earlier this week.

Owen Fletcher and his roommates reportedly rescued a baby deer in distress as Hurricane Ian slammed Orlando with flooding rains.

Mr Fletcher, who lives off of University Boulevard, said that the baby deer was struggling to stay above water. He and his roommates then brought it onto their balcony to keep it safe.

When the group was evacuated from their apartment building, they then brought the deer with them to Lake Nona. They now intended to release the baby deer into the wild, Mr Fletcher said, according to news reports.

Meanwhile, the deadly Hurricane Ian, which is one of the most powerful storms ever to hit the United States, had left a trail of devastation. Almost two million customers were without electricity in Florida, out of a total of more than 11 million.

Earlier this week, a video had also surfaced on the internet which captured how Fort Myers Beach was affected by storm surge and flooding caused by Hurricane Ian. -ndtv.com
