I could not agree with you more, and nothing makes me madder then haveing to get out of bed at 3am to go get some fool who thought that just becouse they have a 4X4 they can drive through three foot of water. and as for the power of swift water, I have been in the pumper with water as deep as the running bords and you could feel it starting to move the truck ( that will bring out the gold brick in a flash)
Hell I have seen the jet skies that our water rescue team use have trouble going aginst the current.
