It’s hard to gauge how deep the water is or how fast it’s moving, so too many try to drive through it anyway. Many frequently flooded, low-lying roads have a sign atop a pole marked with measurement in feet from the base, hopefully so people will see how deep it is and not try to drive through it.
I’m not casting blame,but when you see how fast the water was running and the words never seen flooding like this before. This should give people pause to be more careful.
