Ron Briethaup, 48, of Buxton, N.C. works to free his fiancee's truck after it got stuck on a flooded section of Hwy 12 just north of Hatteras Village, N.C. Conditions had been improving so she had gone out to run an errand, but hurricane force winds picked up again with no warning and she became stranded. Briethaup came to the rescue and dug the wheels out by hand as the wind howled at 77 mph. He said, I knew I could get it out, I sure wasn't going to leave it here in the middle of the road.
