I believe in a flood situation what kills you isn't usually the drowning part. It's the being crushed by debris.
After riding out Katrina for two weeks flooded in, I found myself wondering where all the gators were, and very thankful that nobody was attacked by one (to my knowledge, at least in my area)..
Cuz we're definitely in a gator area...
Never been there before. But there are videos of Fukushima debris floes. Looks like a nightmare, regardless of your swimming level.
During Katrina flooding, if you didn't have a boat or a tractor, you'd have to walk like 2 miles through flood water, in the swamps, to even get to a store.
Hell, people were even bathing in the flood waters!
It was only after the flood mostly subsided, that I found myself wondering, how lucky everyone was to not be attacked by gators!
