McIntosh said he's grateful each of the residents is safe.
“We knew it was a 'life-or-death' situation,” McIntosh told Inside Edition Monday. “You're talking about people in wheelchairs, that are on oxygen and the water is up to their chests.”
The women are now cozy and dry in another nursing home that's located 20 miles away.
Susan Bobrick is the sister of Ruth Miller, one of the women in the picture. She said Miller is doing just fine.
"She is good, everything is good. Everyone is doing well," she told Inside Edition.
