Okay, finally saw it (online).
I'll give him point for a plausible scenario for how they ended up caught in it in the first place.
Why didn't they just go to that nearby bridge to cross the river? They're on foot, they can get through ANY traffic jam. (I know it was to show how to cross a fast river, but still . . . .)
I liked the info on how a layman should do a swiftwater rescue -- from land!
I liked that the tourniquet info reflected the current thinking I've been finding ("once you put one on, leave it alone!"), and explained why. I like "why"'s.
The "treat high winds like a raging gun battle" was good.
I'm glad he said the house was abandoned. Even if a life depended on it, I would be very reluctant to break into a house that was simply closed up and the occupants evacuated.
My "oh, duh!" was "a gallon of buoyancy will float 8 pounds." A gallon of water weighs 8 lbs (actually 8.3
), so, of course, a gallon of air will give 8 lbs of buoyancy. <head smack!>
We don't get many hurricanes (or even typhoons) in San Diego, but there was still a lot of good, usable info, applicable to many situations.
