Flooding

Video from a security camera of a recent flood in Istanbul. Water is so much stronger than I ever think it is. And all the mud swirling in it… I’ve never been in a flood. I can only imagine the massive amount of disheartening clean up that has to take place.

May you never get caught in a flash flood in the Hill Country.

That video was 8 minutes. Flash floods happen in seconds. Second only to tornadoes in the scared-shitless meter!

I have heard about those. Chuck Pyle, one of my favorite singer/songwriters has a ballad about a flash flood, Here Comes The Water. If I remember correctly, it is supposed to be a true story of a highway trooper who, at the cost of his own life, did all he could to get residents out of the canyon ahead of the water.
