Driving around Streets Flooded makes no sense. 😢

[@sd19510]

If he did not have to be out in that storm, he not only put his life in danger but the lives of the first responders. Shame on him.

[@TomMannis]

It's incredible how many adults aren't smart enough to know not to drive into water.

[@marshahunt701]

Not a buoy. A life-preserver or ring. A buoy is chained to bottom of sea bed or river bed.😊

[@cratecruncher4974]

Don't drive during a hurricane or you may be humiliated on national news like this local Texas man.

[@adolfmcduck1265]

C'mon Man. He should be a good swimmer.

Let’s see you swim in there

That's crazy. Im 4 hours away south from houston. It's dry over here. It is crazy to see the streets flooded and im not even that far.

He could walk out WTH

[@hollyphillips7597]

Maybe his house flooded or something or an emergency... all these people saying he dumb for leaving. Stop judging... who knows why he left?

[@llhouser1]

Possibly, but I’d bet not.

[@pearltimes12]

Not sure why he's out but once you reach flooded streets and you attempt to drive through in the middle of a hurricane, it places you in the dumb category either way.

It's apparent that he drove into the water.What was he thinking? He endangered his life and the rescuers.

[@niki9638]

Because the hurricane and flooding were both such a surprise? I say, let Darwin take this one

Your supposed to drive away from the hurricane, Bro!

[@user-sg9lv3px6w]

Swim Fool 😂

[@GTPhan]

Rescue and send a fine notice. The resident should be warned in advance to stay indoors or avoid driving during the storm unless there's emergency

[@ArmedAndIndigenous]

How embarrassing. Putting firefighters at risk.

[@TomMannis]

"This is not a body of water," the reporter said, "this is a road that has transformed into a body of water." Okay, then that means it IS a body of water. Good lord. You milked this shamelessly.

[@U3p695]

I remember when a mayor opened up the dam

[@Pigtrapper]

Charge him $50k for that rescue. He was 15ft away from the bank. Its summer... he couldve swam.

[@chrisc1881]

They have been warning to stay indoors but some people never listen

[@Ej_Rosas]

Bro that water is door height on that truck.. it ain’t that deep 🤣 could’ve swam that 25 ish feet to the edge

Because he doesn’t know how to swim, so weird

[@thomascraddock8697]

20 feet from the shore, current isn't all that. Is this a media stunt for weather reporting?

[@Pigtrapper]

Has to be..... he literally could've walked to the bank. The waves might have been cresting at 12" max. Lol

[@henlar0076]

Charge him for ALL costs associated with this stupidity.

Sure hope a 10 dollar life vest wont break the budget for a water rescue.

Sad situation, but sometimes reporters say funny things. so this man was submerged up to his torso downward and I’m like unless he’s upside down it can’t be submerged upward he would have to be submerged down was just too funny

[@MaryLynn1]

CARTEL JOE!!! 🥵
