When a nasty storm arrives, most people have the luxury of taking shelter indoors to wait it out, but most animals have to quickly try and find a temporary shelter.
In an attempt to stay dry from the torrential rain during a bad storm in Dublin, Ohio, one raccoon thought he had found the perfect spot to wait out the bad weather in the sewer, but quickly learned it was the worst place he could have chosen as the rain water came flooding in from the storm drains.
The terrified raccoon managed to climb up to the grate, but was too big to squeeze through, but had no choice but to hang there for potentially hours as he’d drown in the rapid waters rushing by beneath him.
Luckily, members of the Dublin Recreation Center heard the little raccoon’s terrified screams, and called the city to come and rescue him.
The city worker arrived minutes later, and made sure no cars would run over his tiny paws that were sticking through the grate before finally lifting the grate up and helping return him to his natural habitat.
