So there is flooding in the area, people have been warned not to drive into some areas, and as usual - people ignore the warnings.

It's not like the flood sneaks up on ya. There were warnings and alerts. Water is one powerful force, don't be messing with it. There is not a thing inside your house you need, other than family and they should be with you, safe someplace that isn't flooding. Stuff can be replaced, people can't.

For once, listen to the nice people from the Guv'mint and don't do stupid stuff.

I think the idea of a BOB in a car is nice, I've got one. But it's sort of academic, as my car and BOB will not be in a flood if I can help it. Flash floods are one thing, the flooding in TN was another.
