SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio firefighters rescued a mother and her infant son from their flooded home on the city's Southwest Side on Thursday afternoon.
Elisa Del Toro and her son, Yestin, were rescued when flood waters rushed into their home from the back yard in the 6600 block of Cougar Village.
Yestin slept through the rescue and both escaped the flood unharmed, authorities said.
The flood also damaged at least six homes in the same neighborhood, which is part of a new subdivision, authorities said.
The Del Toros, who had moved in the home in January, said they'll be meeting with the home builder to assess the damages.
A press release from Main Street Homes said drainage conditions in the new subdivision are unacceptable.
"It is in our opinion that our homeowners have experienced unacceptable hardship and inconvenience," the press release stated.
Main Street Homes stated they plan to press the city's public works department to remedy the drainage issues along Medina Base Road.
