Damn, I just rode through Nashville last Tuesday.

a lot of those people didn't drive through the water. They were stuck in bumper to bumper gridlock when the water rose. nothing you can do about that.

Right.

I love the new law enacted in Austin - if someone goes around the barriers when the water is too high they are responsible for any and all costs to save their butt. Though, it's ridiculous that it even needs to be a law.

Damn. Thats crazy. Reminds me of my trip up to the rally when I almost got trapped in Montgomery. I sat in the rain and watched at least 3 cars drive into rushing water in the road way and get stuck. Brilliant. I hope they were able to get out the folks that got trapped when the water rose.

Christian Slater was in town

There's still 2 people missing in Antioch that tried to "raft" across Mill Creek (with a third person who made it across) on tied together tubes. Sorry, but I think I'd have waited on help on my roof. It's nuts down there from what I see on the news and FB...I can't imagine actually being there! I was planning on having a yard sale to get rid of excess clothes, but I think I'm going to hang on to them for the Red Cross now.

You answered your own question in the same sentence.

I wonder (just trying to picture myself in that position) if they tried to move their vehicles to get away from it? Or if the only option they saw was just to get out and abandon their car?

They had people sitting in cars for over 12 hours. There have been 11 deaths so far from the flooding. A lot of the bars downtown are flooded.
