Local hero alert! If you missed our live report on @ksatnews, this man picked up an older woman who had fallen in the middle of the road because of the high water. He walked her to safety. He then ran all the way up the street and grabbed her umbrella and returned it to her. pic.twitter.com/LzKGi14d1h
