Lost the first three drownings of the year
A mother and two children washed away in a small creek in our county this morning. The father drove off into high water thinking they could make it. The car was washed away, he got out with the three-year-old in his arms and lost the baby. He was rescued out of a tree. The mother, the seven-year-old, and the three-year-old were recovered several hours later. Damn it, people, if you can't see the road don't drive into fast moving deep water.

People need to get a grip on the fact that 6 inches of moving water is enough to take a vehicle. Very sad...

That poor man will be haunted by that decision for the rest of his life.

I live on a large reservoir and its normal (unfortunately) to loose at least 2 each warm weather period and two out on the ice..
My reservoir is now 2' going over the dam. It filed up about 7' in depth in just a little over a week. Lots of down stream flooding and more rain coming! |
