    <p>A firefighter rescuing people who were forced out of their homes during Hurricane Harvey ended up needing to do the same for his own parents, <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/firefighter-saving-hurricane-harvey-flood-victims-rescues-parents/story?id=49514493">ABC News</a> reports.</p>

<p>Michael Gibson, a first responder in the Houston suburb of Pearland, Texas, had been working to rescue families for four days when he got a call from his parents.</p>

<p>"My parents called and said they were under water," Gibson said. "I had to get my parents."</p>

<p>Gibson made the rescue by boat, finding that his parent’s home was filled with water up past his knees.</p>

<p>"They were... saying, 'We've never had water in our house in the 36 years we've been in this neighborhood,'" Gibson said.</p>

<p>His family rode to another part of town, at which point Gibson drove his parents to a shelter. He then returned to work.</p>

<p>"Today is different," Gibson said. "I had to get my family out... then my friends who I grew up with, they called and I had to go get their parents."</p>

<p>"I've never seen anything like this,” Gibson added. "This is epic, I've never seen this much water in my life."</p>

<p>At least 38 people have died in Texas as a result of Hurricane Harvey, with numbers expected to grow.</p>

<p>At least 100,000 houses in Texas and Louisiana have also been destroyed, with 30,000 people in shelters on Thursday, nearly a week after the storm first hit last Friday.</p>
