why do people in floods have to be rescued?

254 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.

The water during a flood isn’t like 1-2 feet of water just sitting in a pool. That would indeed be moderately safe.

What it is is 1-2 feet of water that is flowing and flowing fast. Fast enough that basically nobody can stay on their feet. And it’s not just water it’s full of a bunch of deadly debris. So you can get swept off your feet and then smacked in the head by a brick.
