Like most Oregonians，Stephanie McRae was used to driving in bad weather．Although rain still beat the window of her car，the worst of the day's storm seemed to have passed as she drove her 11-year-old daughter，Maggie，home from a church at 8：30p．m．Two little children sat into their car seats in back．
When crossing over Fawcett Creek （小河），McRae found the road just ahead had been washed away．The storm had turned Fawcett Creek into a 100-feet-wide river．Water began to go into the car and the four of them had to climb onto the car's roof．The car was floating about and was being swept toward the Tillamook River only a few miles ahead．Suddenly it stopped when hitting a logjam （浮木阻塞）．The water swept over them，rising higher and higher．Stephanie screamed into the rainy night，almost crying．
"Mom，I have to go and get help，"her 11-year-old daughter Maggie cried．
Stephanie realized if she went by herself，Maggie couldn't hold on to the other two babies．But Maggie was still recovering from foot surgery．How could she manage？Finally she shouted，"I'm proud of you．Be careful!"
As Maggie McRae struggled to reach the shore，she was all wet．The sixth grader started running to the nearest house．Inside，the neighbors immediately called 911and were told that firefighters were making their way toward another trapped car．Maggie joined the neighbors，and helped the rescue team point out where her mother was．The firefighters saved McRae and her children by using a 35-foot-long ladder．
When Stephanie reached land in safety，Maggie raced into her mother's arms．"She hugged me for five minutes，"Maggie remembers．Maggie accepted an award for her heroism，but she's happier to get back to her sports team and her family．
