A 3-year-old child clinging to her dead mother's body was plucked from flood waters just seconds before being swept under a flooded trestle as the rains of Harvey pummeled Southeast Texas.
The toddler's survival is being hailed on social media and the Internet as a miracle.
Police in Beaumont, Texas, say the mother's instinct to protect her child "absolutely saved the child's life."
The name of the mother and child were being withheld Wednesday morning. The mother was declared dead shortly after being transferred to a local hospital. Her child is in stable condition and is expected to soon be released into the custody of family members.
