Rescuers, some trained first responders and others volunteers, help to evacuate the Gulf Health Care Center, a nursing home in Port Arthur, Texas. Elderly patients, many of the bedridden, needed assistance getting out of the facility that had nearly a foot of water in the lobby by 3 p.m. Wednesday.
