Others were trying to ford a road covered with fast moving water.

We lost a neighbor the other day to a dam overflow pipe that was clogged. He entered the water to unblock it and when it opened up it sucked him right into it. Now this guy had achieved a lot in life and was not known to be careless or foolish. Kind of like the flowing grain deaths that occur way too often. A real shame.
