I am a non-swimmer and since 1993 have had near panic reactions to flooding. Something about looking out one's picture window to see the neighbor's car hauler being pushed by the current toward that window increases one's respect for the power of flood waters! The shock about that flood was that it was in Kansas and the house that I owned was nearly 100 years old and had never had water inside (being surrounded by water was a fairly common occurrence). Waited too long in that flood and had to be evacuated -- my nextdoor neighbor and I often discuss the funny picture of me passing my Chihuahua out of the bedroom window to another passenger in the boat and then following out my bedroom window into the boat.
I feel very fortunate to live well outside of the flood plain -- my place of employment, however, is in the flood plain -- and from reports may be nearly surrounded by water.
