why do people in floods have to be rescued?

250 views

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.

6″ of fast flowing water is enough to move a car downstream. Moving water can exert a ton of force on a person or vehicle trying to pass through it. If you get swept off your feet, the water will carry you downstream fast, and you’ll hit a ton of debris in the process.
