Swift Water Dangers!



Swiftly moving water, can sweep you off your feet and carry you towards danger, even death.
 Many tragedies happen when cars drive around barriers that have been erected on flooded streets.

The saying is: "Turn around, don't drown!"

I myself have had the experience of almost being swept off my feet as I crossed a river, even as I had a walking stick to dig into the bottom of the river and even as I held onto the hand of another person as a took one careful step after another. The power of swift rivers and flash floods should never be underestimated.
