Kittens swim to safety during Mississippi flash flood

LORMAN, Miss. (KGO) -- A Mississippi woman found her kittens safe after flash flooding swamped her home.

When the water started rising, the kittens were outside.

At only a few weeks old, she worried they would drown, but she was happy to find out they were actually pretty strong swimmers.

She scooped them up and carried them inside the house. She said that's where the adventurous pair will stay until the floodwater recedes.
