"We left the house and traveled about a half mile and got stuck in the mud trying to go around the trees," he told NBC News on Tuesday."A two-by-six piece of wood came to my window and shattered it. The hurricane was pouring in to my window.”The vehicle's airbags deployed due to the impact of the wood, which he then used to cover the blown out window. He, his wife, two adult friends, a 4-year-old boy and three dogs hunkered down for the next 17 hours.
