"It turned the living room into a gigantic washing machine," Ernie Perez said.
His wife, Sarah Perez, watched helplessly from the second floor, crying, "Oh, no!"
Luckily, rescue workers were nearby and came to ferry the family from the home.
"We see flashing lights in the distance," Ernie Perez said. "We saw a fire crew with two trucks and a boat. My brother whistles and gets their attention."
