Evens dams have been under threat during these severe storm events. People are not thinking correctly about the power of liquid water.
Cars float. They float with far less water under them than most people think they will. Cars are heavy when they roll down the road, however, it is rather alarming to realize water, the vital life ingredient, will lift a car and cause it to float out of control.
It is all too obvious the Texas society is not in touch with the natural world or how powerful it is. Life is not a fantasy.
And the excuse being stated to justify deaths is that the largest amount of rain came at night after dark. And if a person drives through buildings due the day in shadows it will never happen, right? Nighttime is not an excuse for deaths during floods. No one is immune and death is real.
Houses on supports above water are not stronger than the rushing creek turned river. It's ridiculous how these people are justifying their actions that cause their death. When Irene hit the coast did everyone along the coast figure the house supports will protect me?
This is what happens when politics becomes a faux belief system. Humans are not all powerful and cannot fight Earth.
This is from "wikiHOW" to do anything.
Any car accident is frightening, (click here) but an accident in which your vehicle is thrown into the water, with you trapped inside, is absolutely terrifying. Such accidents are particularly dangerous due to the risk of drowning and in Canada alone, 10 percent of drowning deaths can be attributed to being submerged in a car, and about 400 North Americans die from being submerged in a car every year.
However, most deaths are a result of panic, not having a plan and not understanding what is happening to the car in the water. By adopting a brace position to survive the impact, acting decisively when the car ends up in the water, and getting out fast, being trapped in a sinking vehicle is survivable, even if it's a flooded river.
Thirty seconds that can save your life.

BUSTED
Though more powerful, power windows still
cannot overcome the pressure differential. Contrary to popular belief,
though, power windows can withstand immersion in fresh water for
prolonged periods and still function.
