This is a thrilling moment when a young man who lost everything to Hurricane Harvey learns that his father had survived the terrible storm.

Aaron Mitchell in a desperate state had repeatedly tried to contact his father since the deadly storm destroyed his home in Aransas Pass, Texas.

Mitchell told CNN that he had no cell phone signal for days, and his parents knew nothing about his condition.

There has been no mobile service since Thursday. I didn't get anybody. If my mom and dad are looking at me, I'm okay,” said the reporter.

My mother is in Oklahoma and my father.. I have no clue where my father is. I'm here at Rockport, waiting for you. )

He walked 12 miles [12 km] into the darkness to reach his father's home, but he was unable to find it.

After the emotional interview, the journalist gave Mitchell a satellite phone to call his father.

The video shows the young man burst into tears after hearing his father's voice.

Okay, Dad, I'm gonna ride the bus. I'll be there, “he said.

My father said Mitchell, I love you.

“I just lost everything I worked for. Everything. The only thing I got is the clothes on my back” that BBC confession ended.
