WRAL Weather lesson: Even a little water on the road can float a car
We always say, "Turn around, don't drown." Six inches of water can make you lose control of your car and less than two feet can sweep that car off the road.
always remember the slogan
Turn around Don't drown
More people die during flooding in a hurricane by driving
their car into a flooded road than any other way
You're driving along and you see water on the road
Just stop
Go back the way you came
Six inches of water can make you lose control of
your car and less than too car off the road
Once your car swept off the road your chances of
being rescued are fairly slim
Let's talk about bigger vehicles to maybe you think you
have an SUV you have more clearance
You can make it through that water
Well it's still the same
Watch away
