why do people in floods have to be rescued?

248 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.

One or two feet of fast moving water will rip you off your feet, flash you down stream, and hit all the rocks, debris, and trees in the way. Then you get to drown and be filled with mud for your last breath.

Flooding can be very dangerous, as there’s no way for emergency vehicles to get anywhere, power is out, phone lines are out, there’s no climate control, food, clean water, plumbing, etc.

The water movement issue is just for trying to go from A to B. The rest of it just takes you back thousands of years to pre-civilization times.
