An 81-year-old man trapped in a major California snowstorm for a week says he survived by eating snow and croissants he had in his car
An 81-year-old man who got buried in his car for a week after a major California snowstorm told his brother he survived by eating snow and the croissants he had in his car.
Jerry Jouret of Big Pine, California, set out for Gardnerville, Nevada, on February 24 — just before several feet of snow was dumped on The Golden State.
What should have been a three-hour drive for Jouret turned into a seven-day ordeal.
On the morning of February 24, the California Highway Patrol warned residents that harsh weather was moving in and advised drivers to be careful on the roads, according to a Facebook post.
Fox Weather reported that Jouret told his family that the major freeway he'd normally take — Highway 395 — was closed due to snow and ice, so he opted to take the smaller Highway 168 instead to make it to Gardnerville.
But because the snow and wind were making visibility difficult, he accidentally veered onto an even smaller road where he got stuck — only 15 miles from the start of his journey.
Holed up in his dark green Ford Escape, Jouret later told his brother he survived the seven days and six nights until he was rescued by eating snow and croissants he had in his car.
"I just really believe it was a miracle," Joe Jouret told Patch on Friday.
Meanwhile, after four days of not hearing from Jerry Jouret, his family reported him missing to the Inyo County Sheriff's Office on February 28, the office said.

Chắc trong xe ổng cũng có chăn gối để keep him warmer. A person can survive on water without foods for a couple of weeks I think.
