An avoidable tragedy.
An awfully crappy car to lose one’s life over.
Priorities. Some know what they are.
It’s sad that she died. It’s especially sad that she died for a crummy Cavalier.
An avoidable tragedy.
Darwin Award finalist. Both for her priorities and for driving a Cavalier.
Did the car have any bumper stickers? Might be interesting.
Darwin Award nominee!
How stupid is it to try to save YOUR CAR??? Good grief. I know people rely on them for their livelihoods, but for their LIVES??? Dumb, dumb, dumb.
Prayers for her family and friends.

Houston PING (sorry about the erroneoud ping earlier this morning, although Ronny Dio was getting medical treatment in Houston)
Oh you folks all have it wrong. I’m surprised at you.
She was convinced Obama was going to bail her out. You don’t have to be concerned about anything today. Personal responsibility to take care of yourself? Surely you jest...
And of course, she would have been safe is she had the latest model Muslim produced vehicle too. Bwa ha ha ha ha...
HOUSTON — At least two people died as their vehicles were swept into flood waters in the storms across Texas this weekend.
In Houston, authorities say 47-year-old Cassandra Bryant of Harris County drowned Friday night after her car sunk in a retention pond. Police spokeswoman Jodi Silva tells the Houston Chronicle that Bryant was backing up to avoid a flooded road when she went over a curb and floated into the pond.
In Midland, police tell the Midland Reporter-Telegram that a 46-year-old Teresa Townsend of Midland was found dead in her submerged car after Friday’s storms.
The rainfall also affected the search for a 17-year-old from Cuero who went missing Friday while swimming the Guadalupe River. The DeWitt County sheriff said Sunday that the search is in recovery mode.
RIP.
Really tragic. Much like the woman who jumped in front of a moving train to retrieve her purse or jacket(?).
This illustrates why Boy Scouts and other similar youth groups are important - *Be Prepared* (good survival training in childhood and setting priorities for adulthood).
Yes, it’s very sad.
The real reason I’ve never drowned in a car swept away by a flood is...
the story of a father and couple of his children that perished
when the father drove his car through some water on a road just
southeast of Blackwell, OK.
Although I was still a young teen, whenever my family would take that
same road to go see relatives in Wichita KS, they’d remind me and my
brother of what had happened in the low part of farmland that
was dry 99.9%+ of the time.
Here in Mid-Missouri, the authorities go beyond the usual rule of
“if the water is above the axle of the vehicle, don’t go”.
Here they say...”if there is water on the road, turn around!!!”.
“at least I wanna drown in a Mercedes” would be callous under the circumstances...
That is crazy to worry about somethng you can’t possibly save in high water. Let it go it is replaceable.
I agree, it’s sad. Most authourities tell you not to drive through flood waters, that even 1ft deep rushing water can wash your car away. Poor judgement cost her life. Same storn system arrived in Alabama and 2 teen girls were washed away. One managed to grab a tree limb and hang on, but the other went under but was saved. A friend was the hospital chaplain, he said that one died and was revived several times. She is still critical and may not survive. Please pray for her.
