Rob Lowe and family are rescued from vacation home in Southern France

[The Great Owl]

I'm glad that Lowe and his family are safe.

I was flooded out of a first-floor apartment back in 2009, and I lost a lot of possessions. The suddenness of it really took me off guard. I was sitting in my living room reading a book, I saw water start to flow across my carpet, and, within five minutes, my entire apartment was submerged with inches of water. Thankfully, my situation was not life-threatening.
