Laurel D'Antoni, the wife of Rockets coach Mike D'Antoni, needed to be rescued by boat from their home in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., last week as record flooding ravaged the region and killed at least 23 people.

Mike was at the NBA Draft in Brooklyn on Thursday monitoring weather reports. He had not spoken to his wife since her afternoon report that a creek had overflown and was creeping toward their offseason house, located near The Greenbrier resort nestled in the Allegheny Mountains.
Later in the evening, with water rising, a stranger arrived in a rowboat and brought Laurel, the D'Antoni's two cats and two other men to safety.
