Actor Rob Lowe and his family had to be rescued after their vacation home in the south of France was flooded by a torrential downpour.
The 50-year-old, his wife and son had to be evacuated from the property in Grasse on Wednesday morning after a heavy downpour completely submerged the first floor.
It came after three months of rain fell on the area in less than four hours.
The “Parks and Recreation” star posted a snap of the flowing water to his Instagram account soon after.
“This is is right outside the house. Was twice as high at the worst, just before sunrise,” he wrote.
He later shared another picture of his wife Sheryl Berkoff, 53, hugging one of the rescuers in front of a fire engine, reports the Toronto Sun.
“My wife being rescued this am in the horrific flooding in Grasse France. Glad we are safe. Grateful to first responders,” he noted.
“The West Wing” star’s son Johnny, 19, also chronicled the chaos on social media by posting a video of the raging torrent to Instagram.
“That’s the first floor of our house submerged. Scariest hour or so of my life, also sorry for the explicit language. #theboyssurviveaflood,” he wrote.
The actor, his son and wife reportedly set off on a European vacation – so far to Spain and France – two weeks ago with some of the youngster’s friends.
