Woman saves pizzas from flooding apartment

A US woman who had just minutes to collect her precious possessions before fleeing a flash flood, has left audiences in hysterics with her unusual priorities.
Instead of rushing to save priceless mementos, South Carolina woman Angela Williams headed straight to her refrigerator to grab some pizza.
“It gushed in like the ocean was coming in the house,” the woman told a reporter for WIS-TV.
"I didn’t grab nothing but two Totino’s pizzas out of the (refrigerator) and my doggy, and we left. That’s it. I tried to grab some other things, but it wasn’t even worth it."
The woman said she only had about 10 minutes to make an escape from her flooding apartment in Columbia, after the city was hit by torrential rain.
“That’s all I had, that’s all I had, I can’t worry about it,” Ms Williams added.
The downpour has killed three people and been called a "once in a 1000 year" event by South Carolina governor Nikki Haley.
Parts of the state have been hit by more than 60cm worth of rains in 24 hours.
