That’s got to be an absolutely horrible experience
That's gotta be one of the worst ways to die >

I can’t even imagine. Floods are terrifying. An off duty police officer in Dallas was working late night security for a mansion being built in a ridiculously nice neighborhood. Flash flood rolls in, water starts to rise, but he couldn’t get out in time. He was washed into a creek that had a storm drain that empties into the trinity river…a few miles away. It took 51 days to find his body. Horrific shit. >

Swiftwater trained firefighter here.  Flood conditions are among the most dangerous conditions rescuers face.  Hidden debris, invisible hazards, and water is strong and relentless.  I think the stats show that the only conditions more dangerous than swiftwater is forest fires.  (I'm trained as a smoke jumper, but have never done it - those guys are crazy). >

How do you feel about fire floods?
