"Once we arrived, we realized he was out there really close to the current, so it was kind of a hectic situation and scary for him," said Dallas Fire-Rescue Battalion Chief Michael Meador.The rising flood water also forced several roads in North Texas to shut down and a park in McKinney had to be closed.Images from SKY 4 showed Towne Lake Park almost completely underwater because of the 3 inches of rain that fell in that area.The water level has gone down since then.
