A woman has been reunited with her 78-year-old mother after using social media to find her after Hurricane(飓风) Ian.

Beth Booker turned to the Internet last week after seeing photos of her mother’s home submerged in water. “I have never felt more helpless in my life,” she wrote on the Internet. “I called my mom and she didn’t answer. I was so frightened and can’t stop shaking.”

Beth and her husband helped her mom, Carole McDanel, prepare her home for the hurricane before. They had no idea that it would be as bad as it turned out. That house had survived(幸存) several big hurricanes in history, so Carole felt safe there and didn’t leave. In Beth’s last phone call with her mom, Beth said she told her mom to climb on the roof(屋顶) if the waters continued to rise.

Unable to communicate with her mom any longer, Beth turned to the Internet asking her followers for help with searching for her mom. On Sept. 29, Beth shared the news that her mother had been found safe in her home.

“You see this kind of thing happen on the news. You see this on social media. You see it happen in other cities and you know it can happen here when you live in this place. We all know that,” she said in a video online. “But when it’s actually happening to you, it is honestly unbelievable.”
