Family of those missing speak out

What they're saying:

"We start seeing the cars come up," Angel Richards said. "I recognize the tires on this one, I believe that's my car."

Richards looked towards a flipped-over Cadillac on Thursday, but she hadn't heard from her husband, who was driving it earlier that same morning.

"I was speaking with him this morning while he was on his way to work. After he called me and said that the car had stalled and he was flooded," she said. "I heard one big boom and then the water on the phone. Like it just. That phone dropped in the water, and that was the end."

A video showed the current ripping and flooding the road, shocking Deonte Curtis, whose stepfather is missing.

"It kind of looked like a river, like a wild river," Curtis said.

It's a scene Richards says doesn't seem real.

"I've never seen this happen before in my life. Not like this. No, I have no cars to flood. They be stranded. Sometimes they will under because there's a bridge or whatever, but not pulled into a bayou and taking about a couple of miles down the stream," she said.
