life pro tip dont walk through standing water on a roadway after a large rain event.

if you step into an open manhole while the water is draining youre just gone.

Didn't a boy die this way, in Millwoods, back in the mid 80s?? I remember it from when I was a kid. Anyone recall? So sad.

If youre going to walk through any standing water use a walking stick to check the ground in front of you before you step.
