I feel for the lady but I couldn't help but laugh when instead of saying "I almost drown" or something like that, her first response was "the water was disgusting."

[@taravamos2954]

It’s literally sewage and toxic chemicals mixed in the water and can make you sick. It’s not just muddy.

[@erictaylor5462]

Something to consider: When a flood like this happens every septic tank and every sewage treatment plant is flooded and the what they hold is added to the flood water. That water *IS* Disgusting.

[@thomasgirty6397]

[@taravamos2954]

We are also having stronger storms and storms that dump more water faster. We’re having more roads washing away, more areas flooding, and more supersaturated ground that makes it easy for trees to blow over. It’s because of climate change, and it would save us $ and lives if we would accelerate our transition away from fossil fuels.

[@jeanine6328]

I consider myself extremely lucky because I live near the mountains next to some foothills. Getting to higher ground it not too difficult. It not always safe because we have lost some to flash floods and mudslides too. I don’t know what I’d do if I lived in a relatively flat area. How the heck do you get to safety? I think I’d make sure to keep a boat around in case. Nothing like Noahs boat or anything too big, just enough room for me, my dogs and room for survivors that need help. Ok, so I want a kinda biggish flat bottom boat because I know I’m going to pick up the stranded animals too.

Scripture commands us: "But understand this, that in the last days there will come times of difficulty. For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, proud, arrogant, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, heartless, unappeasable, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not loving good, treacherous, reckless, swollen with conceit, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having the appearance of godliness, but denying its power. Avoid such people." (2 Timothy 3:1-5). As the difficult times of the last days approach, let us stay steadfast in devotion to God and His word. May these Bible verses about the end times encourage your faith and strength.
