A Texas father reportedly punched out a window to save his family during the recent flash floods, but in the process he severed an artery in his arm and ended up dying a hero’s death.
Julian Ryan was at his home along the Guadalupe River with his fiancée, Christina Wilson, and their children during the early hours of July 4, when “trees were thrown like toothpicks, and water quickly rose, leaving families with little time to comprehend what was happening,” KHOU reported.
As the water level quickly rose, 27-year-old Ryan’s quick thinking and leadership saved the lives of his family, and his mother as well.
Wilson said that within 20 minutes, the water level was up to their knees in the house.
“It just started pouring in, and we had to fight the door to get it closed to make sure not too much got in,” Ryan’s fiancée explained. “We went back to the room and started calling 911.”
Ryan finally made the difficult decision to punch out the window in an effort to get everyone to safety.
