Johnny Lauder, a Chicago native who moved to Naples with his family about 20 years ago, was riding out the Category 4 storm at his older son's house, which is about a half a mile from his 86-year-old mother's house.

Unfortunately, the outcome was very different, as the powerful storm rushed more than 3 feet of water into her home and ultimately trapped her inside. .

Johnny Lauder's mother, Karen Lauder, 86, is submerged nearly to her shoulders in water that has flooded her home, in Naples, Fla., Wednesday, Sept.

Johnny Lauder's mother, Karen Lauder, 86, lies just above the water line on a table, wrapped in sheets to keep warm after water flooded her home, in Naples, Fla., Wednesday, Sept.

Eleven hours after responding to his mom's call for help, Lauder, his mom and his younger son finally made it back to his older son's home.
