																		<p>The picture shows stranded senior citizens -- many suffering from dementia -- in a Dickinson, Texas, nursing home. They were stuck in flood waters up to their waists.</p>
																							<p>The owners' daughter and son-in-law, Kim and Tim McIntosh, went to Twitter and looked online for a lifeline.</p>
																							<p>"We were desperate, desperate to get someone there and given we couldn't get through to anybody I felt no one was listening," Kim told CBS News.</p>
																							<p>Their tweet went viral, and within a few hours, the residents were rescued.</p>
																							<p>Among the most vulnerable during Harvey have been the elderly.</p>
																							<p>Henrietta Belle, 94, was trapped in her house with her daughter and when the water rose 2 feet above her head.</p>
																							<p>They waited to be rescued with their neighbors.</p>
																							<p>"I'm feeling a little tired ... I'm glad to be here … I want to go in and sit down put my feet up and get something to eat," Belle said, laughing.</p>
																							<p>Other stranded residents took care of a sick 95-year-old neighbor while waiting for help.</p>

																			<p>"We been out here since 7 o'clock," Jervasia Onezina said in a video interview. "I haven't eaten and he hasn't eaten, he's a diabetic, so they gave him the last crackers, they gave him the last four. I haven't eaten all day and I take medication along with him, and I'm sure other people out here have medication problems as well."</p>
																							<p>As the rescuers continue their work, folks from the photo that went viral decided to take their own picture showing they are safely riding out the rest of the storm.</p>
																							<p>Those residents are now safe at a nursing facility in Alvin, Texas. </p>
																							<p>But their family can't come and visit them. Airports are closed and many of the roads in the Houston area are flooded.</p>
																							<p>The nursing home, however, told CBS News that everyone is in good spirits.</p>
