GALAX, Va. – A family of five has been evacuated during a water rescue in Galax overnight, according to the Galax Fire Department.

When units arrived, they say they found a home completely surrounded by water on Delhart Road.

Authorities say the family of five was evacuated to dry ground by a Galax Fire Department boat crew before the call became an emergency. They were reportedly put up in a hotel by the Red Cross.

The power was disconnected from a second home in the area due to a flooded basement.
