Extraordinary pictures of the La Vita Bella in Dickinson, Texas, showed seven residents sitting in wheelchairs chest deep in dirty flood water waiting to be rescued, along with their cat.
The water began coming up through the toilets at 3am on Sunday but hours later it was 4ft deep.
Medical notes floated along the surface of the water as carers frantically called for an evacuation.
Nursing home employee Tina Davis said that she ‘was on the phone with anybody except for God’.
In the end the National Guard arrived and floated the wet, half-clothed residents out on mattresses to waiting trucks.
