The US state of Tennessee is literally underwater. Rainfall has flooded everything around, but the Humphrey family's property has remained untouched. In the aerial video, the only house in Ridgeley stands in the middle of the disaster zone. 
It is not known how the homeowners built the dam or when it was installed. But it did its job perfectly. According to locals, the family spent years improving the design.
"The Humphreys live here. They have been saved like this several times already," a viewer commented on the video.
"Country people are survivors," wrote another.
Residents said brothers Tucker and Justin Humphrey worked hard to protect their mother Amy's home from flooding.
"They do this every time there's a flood. It's unbelievable."
