Devoted son spends 11 hours rescuing disabled mother from Hurricane Ian: 'She was happy to see me'

Former Chicago police officer Johnny Lauder spent 11 hours rescuing his mother from Hurricane Ian after floodwaters filled her home in Naples, Florida

"Once the storm water started coming in, and it was about three and a half, four feet of water on the side of my son's house, that's when I knew that time was of the essence, and I made sure they were safe and dry," Lauder told co-host Carley Shimkus. "They went up in an attic crawl space with a way to get out of the roof if need be, and I jumped out the window and started making my trek to help mom."

Lauder said his mother, who is 84 years old, refused to evacuate, but luckily he was down the street at his son's home when storm conditions began to escalate.
