Buffalo’s woman, Mary Ann Williams, saw that a man was being caught by a storm-forced storm in western New York.

Sha’Kyra Aughtry said she was home when she heard someone screaming on her street. A man called for her help, and she was able to see him through her windows.

Aughtry’s boyfriend carried the man, 64-year-old Joe White, into the house, and she used a blow dryer to melt the ice off his red and blistered hands and used a “grass cutter” to take his rings off, she said in a Facebook livestream.

The Buffalo woman called emergency services for help but no one responded. Aughtry, who has no medical training whatsoever, expressed concern for her husband’s safety.

Facebook she used to post her story and ask for assistance.

“I’m going crazy because I’m scared,” she said on the livestream. “I’m starting to see his body change too much from the time that I had him – his body has changed rapidly every hour.”

As the storm buried Buffalo in thick snow, emergency responders were unable to respond to calls for hours over the weekend – with ambulances and rescue crews even getting stuck in the snow, Erie County officials have said at press conferences.

At least 31 weather-related deaths have been confirmed in New York’s Erie County, including one attributed to an EMS delay, according to County Executive Mark Poloncarz.

With no one coming to help, Aughtry said she was scared for White’s life.

“I’ve called the National Guard. I’ve called 911. I’ve called everybody – they just keep telling me I’m on a list. I don’t want to be on a list,” Aughtry said on her livestream. “I don’t care about nothing else. This man is not about to die over here.”
