    I know you may be thinking those arrows are for finding the drains under a snowbank but the plows go right up against the curb as any good plow driver should. These arrows appeared at these drains after I reported this area to have constant flooding. The rest of the drains on the street are not marked so I assume it's flood-related if it was snow bank related I think they would have marked all of them, either way for snow or not they should have used a metal or concrete post in the ground because weather the arrows are covered with a flood or a layer of ice you won't be able to see them
    I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
    I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
    Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards.

    There's some philosophy here.
    He's doing what he likes but there are some jerks who don't bother slowing down and don't care if someone gets splashed or they splash him on purpose. He, however, keeps on with his work and eventually there's no water and he can't be splashed anymore.

      Also, he seems to love whirlpools.
      He knows he can't see whirlpools unless he solves a problem they represent.
      So he solves the problems that let him see whirlpools. Everyone wins
      Most people accommodate him, some of them help in their way, but once in awhile someone breaks the rules to bypass them, or just ignores the situation entirely.

      If this guy truly does this because he enjoys the whirlpool payoffs, I wouldn't be surprised if this could be attributed to Asperger's Syndrome. One of the main characteristics of A.S. is having special interests with a passion.
      I myself am diagnosed with a mild case of A.S. and certainly know a bit about going down rabbit holes to learn almost everything about something specific, which to most people would feel like a waste of time. My current "rabbit hole" is trying to get to know all there is to know about electric cars - their history, construction, battery tech, etc.
      And while most people desire social connections, I feel most at ease when I'm alone and try to obtain information on my interests... which is hard for most people to understand.

      @Thomas L Yeah same thought. My dad used to drive a Subaru through water higher than that near our house. It was low to the ground but had 4WD so it handled it better than a 2WD but he said you had to should never stop and try never to slow down but keep the same pace. Just in the passenger seat, I could feel the pressure from when the water reached the bumper and then when it let go. It also splashed a lot.
      I also walked the sidewalk on that road in a few floods and was splashed. It sucked but I understood it. Most people aren't doing it on purpose in those conditions. People splashing on purpose are usually when it finishes raining and there's a puddle somewhere. You can hear them rev up and if facing them see them veer over to hit it on purpose.
      Driving on the sidewalks, however, is the worst. Those people should get reported and fined. If flooding is that bad you don't know if someone had to leave their house and is on the sidewalk. It could be the elderly, children, someone with pets, etc.

Going faster just makes it easier to lose control of the car because of aquaplaning.

      If you slow down, the water can clog your engine and cause your engine to lock up (flooding the engine). The never slow down advice is actually good advice. You should keep a speed you can control, preferably a decently faster not slower speed but not too fast. Don’t speed up but definitely don’t slow down.

      Don’t award mediocrity, we don’t need to pat people on the back who follow simple rules of the road and Highway Code they should have learned already like slow down when entering a flooded area to protect your car, your brakes and yourself, this is expected of every competent and licensed driver. Anyone who just ploughs into the water is either blind or an idiot which is more dangerous.
      Blind people wouldn’t see the massive build up of water like the guy who hard splashed him, they slammed the brakes once they hit the water so they didn’t see it coming, in which case their judgement is compromised or their vision is shit, either way get them off the road
      The idiot drives on the pavement to avoid the water on a cluttered pavement with trees on a corner which could have pedestrians you don’t see or just drives through the water like it isn’t there, which can wreck the car and you just know they didn’t check their brakes after leaving the water to make sure they’re working properly so they’re both a dick who should be off the road but also driving a potentially unsafe vehicle,
      Bad drivers make normal drivers look good, don’t congratulate people for common sense, embarrass the bad ones so they go extinct, or put some cement mix on the pavement to fuse their brakes up good

      They think that cars get stuck in water because the vehicle loses traction by floating up - not because the engine is flooded long before the vehicle turns into a boat.

      The majority of people driving cars don't understand that internal combustion engines need *air* just as much as *fuel* to simply run. Same sort of folks who can't set up a campfire because they completely forget about air intake. A car is a living machine: it needs to breath.

    True story : my street flooded severely years ago. A friend and I were standing in my front yard and noticed 2 similar age guys down the street with a motorcycle in the water, furiously revving/spinning the tire and sending a massive spout of nasty water into the air. They were laughing and spraying water all over the place.
    We thought they were being obnoxious as hell until the water started to drain. They unclogged the sewer grate with a motorcycle. The dude with the bike rode off like a hero yelling "the gate is open!"

    The town should give you an award for clearing up the roads when it rains. You should wear some type of neon safety vest & maybe get some fishing waders so people take care when you're cleaning the sewers & grates! Thanks for caring about your town!!!

      It isn’t about a kind service. It is an obsession with winning! Lol. Beating the water! Getting that satisfaction! I know because I suffer with this type of thing too. It is so satisfying to unclog something, straighten something, fix something.

      He may be great at his job but not good at leading other people: he should be given a job and a raise for his expertise, but not necessarily be guiding others, which is among the reasons why so many good workers rise to positions they aren't fit for.
      The Peter Principle: people in a hierarchy tend to rise to their "level of incompetence".

      Mr Knarf He has a wealth of knowledge. If he may not be a suitable leader, but certainly a champion within the learning and development of others who are open and willing to learn. It looks simple how he unclogs those drains but the knowledge about the landscape and why the water was rising is great. Many may think it’s just some common theory but clearly no one in the city cared to fixed it. It’s not about how much you know but how you apply it!
