You have heard it, "Turn around, don't drown"! Here is a perfect example of how what may even seem like a little bit of water can be a whole lot deadlier than you might think. Watch!


In one foot of moving water a small car can be washed away. Eighteen to twenty-four inches of flowing water is enough to wash away most vehicles, including large SUVs and pickup trucks.

From the National Weather Service,

It is impossible to tell the exact depth of water covering a roadway or the condition of the road below the water. This is especially true at night when your vision is more limited. It is never safe to drive or walk through flood waters. Any time you come to a flooded road, walkway, or path, follow this simple rule: Turn Around Don’t Drown.
