Hi California/Nevada peeps, some advice from someone living in an area where flash floods are common!

DO NOT DRIVE INTO ANY FLOODED AREA, EVEN IF IT'S JUST "A FEW INCHES". JUST DO NOT DO IT.

EVEN IF YOU "KNOW THE ROAD".
EVEN IF YOU HAVE A SUV OR PICKUP TRUCK.

DON'T.

You raise an interesting point.

People are now facing weather events & other issues related to altering their lives, which they're not accustomed to.

I'm reminded of a scene in (the movie with ), where the "Kansas" family runs under a viaduct to stay safe from a .

As an gal who has lived her whole life in , I wanted to yell at the screen when I saw it.

For God's sake--NEVER run under a viaduct to avoid a tornado! That becomes a wind tunnel, and the winds are MORE powerful there than in the open. If you're on the open road & don't feel safe in your car, you're supposed to lay down in a nearby ditch.

reports for in areas which do not tend to experience that kind of event, should be instructing viewers how to stay safe. And we should be teaching children a wider variety of ideas.
