- Chloe Adams, 17, had to swim out of her flooded home with her mixed breed dog Sandy during Kentucky's deadliest storm in history
- The quick-thinking teen grabbed a plastic container for her pup Sandy to sit in while they swam to one of the only rooftops still over the flood level
- Chloe said she knew the situation was 'sink or swim' so she had to act fast to save her life as floodwater filled her home in Lexington, Kentucky
- She was seen sitting on the peak of a rooftop, soaked through and completely encircled by unprecedented floodwater
- Gov Andy Bashear said 37 people, including four children, have been killed in the floods. But the number is expected to increase after more bodies were found overnight
- A teenage girl has revealed that she 'prepared for death' as her home filled with deadly floodwater and she was forced to escape to a rooftop with her dog in Kentucky.
Quick-thinking Chloe Adams, 17, put her dog in a plastic container that could float before swimming to her neighbor's roof, where she waited five hours to be rescued amid the calamitous flash floods in Lexington, Kentucky.
Kentucky's catastrophic downpours, which have so far killed 37 people, obliterated entire towns and submerged houses in deadly flood water last week, as emergency services still try to desperately find missing people.
Chloe's family, like hundreds of Kentuckians, lost everything in the fatal flood - and the 17-year-old said her priority was saving herself and her beloved mixed breed dog Sandy.

جلست على القمة مع جروها تحت المطر الغزير لمدة خمس ساعات قبل أن يتم إنقاذها يوم الخميس خلال أكثر فيضانات كنتاكي فتكًا في التاريخ.
بدأت في وضع خطة التخطيط لإخراجها وأنا وكلبي بأمان.
لقد كانت تجربة جيدة

Chloe's father Terry Adams wrote on social media: 'My daughter is safe and whole tonight. She saved her dog by putting her in a container that would float and then swam with her to a neighboring rooftop.
'She waited hours until she could be rescued. She is a hero. I love you Chloe. You are simply amazing. We lost everything today…everything except what matters most.'
The family have started a GoFundMe page after their lives were devastated by the flooding in eastern Kentucky.
