I'm surprised that we haven't seen more here on the boards regarding the flooding in Tennessee.

Regarding leaving cars quickly, it's definitely a good idea to have some survival equipment ready and capable of being pulled out rapidly, but I wonder if in flooding incidents like these it wouldn't be better to keep the BOB or similar with you rather than leave it in the car. It seems as if there is sufficient warning prior to the event the gear would be safer in hand because most likely wherever your car is will be flooded more quickly than a permanent structure.

Or, is this a case of not worrying about the emergency kit in the car because the kit for the house or the one at work is nearby.
