After the image floated around social media, the man was identified as Jimmie Cox, 23, of Hood County, Texas.

Cox casually recalled diving into the murky water like it was another day at the office.

"[It] was about five-and-a-half feet deep…a full one-inch pipe was [sending water] full throttle into a woman's home," Cox said.

Andrea Adams, the homeowner who snapped the photo and shared it on Facebook, says she has been flooded with messages from people all over the world.

Cox said he can't believe the attention the photo has garnered, either.
