It’s come up over and over but how do they get to the roof when there’s no feasible way? Even if the person can get in the water and stay afloat, it would be really hard to pull themselves up on the roof without certain conditions.
Your question is a very good one. In some houses there is a feasible way, but it strikes me that in others one is basically toast. Making it to the attic at that point and hoping that the water doesn’t rise further may not be a good option, but it may be the best option in a given situation.
you break out to the roof from the attic.
Granted it would take some effort but it could be done with a some battering. Just need a hole large enough to slip through.
Also, people really need to learn to swim and teach their children to swim and tread water .
And have flotation devices on hand. Even empty jugs with tight closing lids tied together could provide some amount of flotation.
People just panic, especially those already afraid of water who can’t swim. If you could swim you could at least swim over to a tree and hang on for a good while.
You bash or saw a hole in it from the inside.
