The water wasn't just ankle-deep, it rose so high that it hit the chin of 6-foot, 3-inch Matthew and nearly overtook the roof of a stranded truck.

The underpass doesn't drain and every time it rains, the boys say it floods.

The boys ended up pushing cars that were stuck. Michael said he had to lift a red truck to help get it moving in the water, WDAF reported.
