SUFFOLK, Va. (WAVY) — Suffolk Fire and Rescue saved a cat stuck in a storm drain early Monday.

Crews were called to the Burbage Grant neighborhood where heavy rain caused water to rise around the cat’s head.

Ladder 11’s crew lifted up the storm drain and were able to safely free the animal before it was overcome by water.

The rescue came as Hampton Roads saw widespread flash flooding on Monday.
