The Anchors of KVUE in Austin interviewed a man on the phone that was stuck in a tree, surrounded by flood waters.

When  the Anchors started the interview, they had no idea that the guy was still stuck in the tree and help was nowhere to be found. 

The man, Kerry Packer, scrambled up the tree about 9 a.m. with his phone, which apparently had good battery life.
