They just wanted to save their dog and nearly paid the ultimate price. A father and his son were swept into the raging Menominee River in Wisconsin on Monday, fighting against a current that drags everything in its path. #rescue #menomoneefalls #wisconsin #shorts #flood #flooding The sun clung desperately to the riverbank as bystanders called 911 while his father vanished beneath the surface. First responders battled the rushing water every step of fight to reach them. At a river gauge near the incident, the Menomonee River went from a flow of less than 3 cubic feet per second before the storm to 1,570 cubic feet per second during the storm, which broke the previous record from 1997. It was still over 1,100 cubic ft per second Monday afternoon.
