Texas Flood Survivor Clings to Meter Box for Hours in Harrowing Escape

In a gripping tale of survival, Christian Fell battled deadly flash floods in Texas, clinging to a meter box for hours after breaking through a window to escape his submerged home. The catastrophic flooding, which claimed over 80 lives in Central Texas, left Fell with no choice but to take drastic measures when first responders couldn’t reach him.

Fell recounted his ordeal on national television, describing how he awoke to strange noises, initially mistaking them for an intruder. “When I swung my feet off the bed, I was standing in ankle-deep water,” he said. As the water surged to waist level, furniture began floating, and Fell realized he was on his own. “I called 911, but I knew I had to save myself,” he added, crediting his survival to divine intervention.

With floodwaters rising, Fell’s quick thinking led him to a broken window, his only escape from the chaos. He clung to the side of the building, enduring hours of uncertainty as the raging waters threatened to sweep him away. The devastating floods have left emergency crews scrambling to find dozens still missing, with communities reeling from the tragedy.
