A transcript:

Who ever reads this I'M IN THE DARK AS I'M WRITING THIS I'M DIEING – I’m 28 yrs old my name is Mike. I had to break in to your house. I took blankets off the couch. I have hypothermia. I didn’t take any thing. A wave thru me our of my house down the block. I don’t think I’m going to make it. The water outside is 10ft deep at least. There’s no res[c]ue. Tell my dad I love him and I tryed get[t]ing out. His number is ###-###-#### his name is Tony. I hope u can read this I’m in the dark. I took a black jacket too. Goodbye. God all mighty help me.

Radio WOBM called the number on the note...

"I decided to give it one more try before I got on the air, and someone picked up. It ended up being Tony. I told him that I’d been given a note, and right away he said 'yeah, that’s my son Mike, he’s here. Would you like to talk to him?'"

The note would be far more harrowing had he not.

4. Glad to hear he made it.

The jacket and blanket likely helped him stay alive.

5. He was definitely

living a nightmare. I was overjoyed to read that he lived and was at his dad's house.

Edit: My 100th post! I'm a newbie here, but at other blogs I'm the old timer.

7. I'm glad you're okay, Mike..... :)

8. Not many people would leave a note. Perhaps that's why he made it.

And no, I do not believe in God. But I do believe in humanity.

10. Was this person in a mandatory evacuation area?

If so, did he have the means to evacuate? The "journalism" on the story doesn't include those little details...

11. And the CONservatives just want people to be left to die

rather than have the government help.
