    Swimming... in a flash flood. That's got to be the funniest thing you've ever said, Simon. It's not the depth of the water, it's how fast it's flowing, and when 3ft of water wants to go somewhere, it will go there, and take your knees out as surely as a sledgehammer.

      Having been swept away by various bodies of water, I can confirm. Each ended in injuries varying from mild lacerations to the palms of my hands and soles of my feet, to a two day coma and at least one period where my mortal and unconscious form chose not to breathe for about 6-8 minutes and was kept extant by means of a timely ambulance and the efforts of a Dutch tourist. So they told me at the hospital.
      That was a river and f-ck me they do not mess about. Got less of a beating from the Indian goddamn Ocean.

      It's the same reason most horse trainers tell people they shouldnt try crossing running water while riding their horse, the horses skinny ankles can easily be swept out from under them while on slippery rocks by just inches of water.

      I also think there has to be an incident where a dog saved its owner from an alligator. Dogs have saved people from bears, big cats, and house fires. That’s not even considering working dogs who find people in mountains and stuff. I used to have a friend who hated dogs and said there was no reason anyone should have a dog and I was like, “working dogs exist and perform essential functions. This includes therapy dogs and service animals.”

Thankfully, we were all around to see it happen, and he only swatted it down to the ground, so we actually got it away from him and put it in our recently vacated hamster cage to let it recover. We called to see if any animal shelters could take it, but they wouldn't accept it, but at least told us how to take care of it. So, we nursed it back to health over a few days and eventually put the cage outside one night with the top off and it flew away. Definitely one of our families proudest and most favorite cat stories.

    The clawless cat was in retrospect a menace to my local eco system, but where I would argue he was still cool despite it was in that he taught me all the weird animals I never ever saw in my local area.

    Fun fact: I was working in customer support for company producing debit cards, and we were disabling cards before caller starts to speak. If correct numbers are dialed, we had a prompt that the call is about stolen or lost cards.
    So yeah, don’t chase anyone, blocking the card takes 5 seconds

    The alligator attack happened about two miles from my home in Naples, in a neighborhood called The Quarry. Most people in Florida have the common sense to not walk their pets near a large body of water at 11 PM. This person decided to toss common sense out the window.

    Problem with walking through flood waters to safety is that it’s not like walking through a pool. The water is moving, and often there is a lot of debris in it as well. People needing to be rescued isn’t always them being idiots, though it can’t be ruled out. 😉

  • @kjaubrey4816

    As a person who kayaks, O encourage anybody to try to walk across swift moving water that is even two or three ft deep if they think six ft deep floodwater is something that can easily be crossed. Fast moving water is no joke, even if you are a strong swimmer.

    You do NOT mess around with flood waters. Just six inches of fast moving water can knock you off your feet. And even if you can stay upright, you are now moving about in water that is chock full of raw sewage, gas, motor oil and, who knows what chemicals from vehicles and buildings in the flood.

  • @BadgerBabe89
    @BadgerBabe89 15 днів тому

    Simon an friends - It's not the swimming, that's the problem. It's what's in the water. The amount of debris just beneath the surface in rushing water can impale you, crush you and suck you under where you just end up in some sort of meat grinder type scenario. On top of that there's usually a ton of waste water added and so infections are bound to happen. It can seem like just an easy swim but you can't tell what's under the water. Lost a friend of mine who tried to swim to his dad a few blocks away. His body was found days later.

    If the water is deep enough to leave the top of the car and upper part of the windows visible, you can still _easily_ drown. These days of automatic windows and tinted glass means you need to BREAK the windows. Get a window breaker tool. It's remarkably easy to use. Go to a junkyard and practice (obviously get permission). It could save your life and those of your loved ones.
