It is a feeling hard to describe to feel yourself floating in a car.I was the fool that learned my lesson and realized I wouldn't have been much help to my mom drowned in a flooding creek.I think it took awhile before my legs quit shaking so bad I could hardly drive!

I think we've done a pretty good job with our 'Don't Drive Through High-Water' PSAs tonight, don't you? LOL...

Who knows, maybe someone here will take it to heart.

Yet, I was stupid twice.

Our town is on the Mississippi River. One year it had flooded, not badly, as the water went down quickly. But, it left a lot of seep water across the bridge in Illinois. It was not rushing water, but still, it was over the road.

We always went camping pulling a pop-up trailer over in Illinois. Well, the seep water stayed and stayed and some folks began to cross it carefully, as the days went by.

So, my silly husband talked me into going camping and pulling the Jayco across this seep water. Well, our vehicle made it just fine, but the trailer started to float.

Somehow, me made it across, though. I don't remember how many miles we had to drive to get back home to avoid that bridge, but we did.

And, as God is my witness, I will never drive or be allowed to be driven across more than a puddle in the road again.
