At least six people died during flooding in Texas last week.

The heavy rain and flash floods caught a lot of drivers off guard, including a man who called in to KVUE-TV during their live newscast Friday.

Kerry Packer explained to the anchors that his car was swept away by flood waters and that he had to climb a tree to get out.

The anchors had no idea they were going to be talking to a man still in a fight for his life. Both of them were stunned as Packer explained his precarious situation.

Throughout the duration of the conversation, Packer spoke quite calmly considering his situation. He casually told the anchors that it looked like he was "in the middle of a lake."
