It may seem like a dumb question but I really am curious. from what I’ve seen in the media, it’s only like 1 or 2 feet of flood water. I don’t understand why they can’t go in the water because I don’t understand why the water is dangerous in the first place.

Just 6 inches of water can knock a person off their feet, 12 inches can carry off a small car, and 2 feet can carry off a large car or truck.
Currents in flood waters are very strong, but a lot of people don’t understand this and think it’s the same thing as the water in a still lake or swimming pool. Which it is not; it’s more like getting caught in a rip current at the beach.
