During the Katrina hurricane and flooding, a devout religious man was stranded on a rooftop during quickly rising water levels and rapid currents, which were at the second story windows of his two story house.
The first rescue helicopter flew overhead with a rescue line, but the man waved the helicopter on, saying "The Lord will save me." The helicopter moved on.
As water levels were nearing the peak of roof, the 2nd rescue helicopter attempted to rescue the man, but he refused to accept their help, saying "The Lord will save me!" The helicopter moved on.
As the man was holding on to the TV antenae and the water current was pulling at his waist, the man waved on the 3rd rescue attempt saying the "The Lord will save me."
Finally, the man was swept away and drown by the waters. When he was in heaven he spoke with the Lord. He said, "Lord, why didn't you save me from drowning in the floodwaters?" The Lord responded by saying, "I sent 3 rescue helicopters, what more do you want?!"
