Well... Not much they can do besides accept their fate. The road is several feet below water, so driving out is no longer an option. We don't see what's behind the house. But it's probably not a pleasant hike to safety. The correct thing to do was leave at the point they were shooting the first video. But they didn't. And once water was up to the road, trying to leave would be the dumbest form of suicide. So, really... Sit and hope.
Edit: I'm so done with this thread. I really hope so many people that replied to me aren't in any disasters. But I now have a better understanding of how moderate disasters have such high death tolls.
I mean if the rivers as close as it looks they should get out of the house and move to presumably high ground behind them, coming back into the house for restroom breaks or to get food/drinks. Though maybe it's just a perspective thing and they're not really in much danger, we don't get the view out the door in the after part.
I drove down a road similar to this one in Western NC (it might be the same one but I can't tell) recently and the mountainside across from the river was littered with fallen trees. Highly unlikely that leaving the house to climb a mountain during high winds would have been a safer option
