For homeowners, it doesn't get much scarier than this. A couple in Wimberley, Texas watched in horror as a door on their home burst open, letting in thousands of gallons of water.

In the video uploaded May 26, homeowners Ernie and Sarah Perez watch in shock as the glass door of their vacation home is knocked off its frame by the force of flood water.

During the harrowing two-and-a-half-minute clip, you can hear Sarah Perez gasp and shout "oh no" as the water breaks down the door. Following 30 seconds of stunned silence, she simply says "oh no" again.

The source of the surge was the Blanco River, which flooded following heavy rains in the area.

The Perez family was eventually rescued.

According to reports, at least 35 people have died as a result of recent severe weather in New Mexico, Texas and Oklahoma, with several more reported missing.
