— -- Texas reporter Jessica Holloway was reporting about the heavy rainfall that has plagued Houston when she noticed an armadillo trying to escape from rising waters.

Holloway of ABC station KTRK-TV saw the critter struggling to stay afloat in about 2 feet of water when she came to the animal's rescue, using her umbrella to guide the armadillo toward dry land.

Other people standing along the road assisted as the animal got closer to shore and helped steer it away from the rising water.
