Reminds me of the joke:

A great thunderstorm and flash flood was threatening a man’s home and family.

There was a call to evacuate by the authorities.

The Sheriff and his deputies came around in boats to rescue them.

He turned them down, saying, “The Lord will provide and protect me and my family.”

The rain got even worse and began to rise so that they had to all get up on the roof.

The Coast Guard sent a helicopter to rescue them from the roof.

He again turned them down, saying, “The Lord will provide and protect me and my family.”

Eventually, the house and all the family were swept away by the flood and perished.

The man awoke at the gates of Heaven, where he met God.

“Why didn’t you save us from the terrible storm and flood?” he asked.

“I sent the Sheriff and his deputies with boats and later I sent the Coast Guard with a helicopter, but you would not listen.” He replied.................

Partner, Ain't that the truth.

Actually, something similar to your story happened in the great state of Colorado when the dam was about to break the county sheriff and his deputies went to every home to tell them to go up to higher ground since the dam was about ready to break.

The dam did break and killed the sheriff and his deputies and so many other folks that did not go up high enough. This is a true story and I was speechless reading the story since the sheriff and his deputies did save more folks than the folks who did die.
