Turn Around Don’t Drown

[00:00:00]afternoon. I have some breaking news for y'all today. My good friend has fallen victim to flash flooding. Um it's one of those things that people really don't think about as much because a lot of times you don't hear about I want to say fatalities with flash flooding, but it's extremely dangerous anytime you play with water. Anytime you play with water. It's very heartbreaking to me as you see on your screen. Look at I'm not going to show you her exact car, but those are her neighbors and her telling me it's about a foot to 3 ft of water.

[00:00:33]That's That's crazy. It's so heartbreaking. I mean, she's a really sweet girl. I just I asked her, I was like, "Can I show people this?" I think it's very important that we start taking flash flooding extremely serious as it is.

[00:00:47]Turn around, don't drown.

[00:00:49]Turn around, don't drown. Um she was telling me how a boy pulled up into the water not thinking that it was really that deep. And he got stuck. He had to climb out of his window.

[00:00:59]That could have ended a lot worse. So, guys, turn around, don't drown. And especially, you know, with Knoxville's hills and valleys and those deeper spots, those can get full of water quickly. Especially how fast that storm happened yesterday, even here in Memphis.

[00:01:16]That was wild. That was a quick torrential downpour.

[00:01:19]So, turn around, don't drown. And when you see standing water, don't drive through it.

[00:01:25]Because it may look like it's just Oh, it's just an inch. No, it might be deeper. So, y'all stay safe out there.
