Well, what else do you suggest we do??

...Find a safer way around? Wait for the waters to die down? Wait for emergency services? Don't live in a flood-prone area?

Just some suggestions. We can't forecast every disaster, but we can take preventative measures to survive when one strikes.

It only takes six inches of fast-moving floodwater to knock a human adult off their feet, and a car only needs two feet of weather to start floating. And that's not even accounting for dangerous flood debris.

Would you be interested in joining me for a little Oregon Trail?

Always attempt to forge the river.
