There was one who intentionally drove around a barricade while workers were pumping out water and just drove straight into the water, causing a worker to endanger his own life trying to save them but he had to give up because the pumps were dragging him under the water
It really makes you think what goes through a persons mind that they'll intentionally do this kind of stuff, I try to find some sympathy for them but I really can't when they pull stuff beyond stupid like this

Up to 8 dead now. Not sure why people still drive off into water. Several were in areas with flood gauges and did it anyway.
Barker and Addicks reservoirs approaching capacity as everything northwest drains into them. Supposed to have some more rain tonight but shouldn't be too heavy.

This has been a constant problem in Texas, as we both know.

We can only hope....

If I recall correctly, wasn't that 2016 flood a much more sudden situation than this one? So hopefully, the death toll will be kept a bit lower by the advance notice. The downside is that it sounds like people are already in bad situations just having stayed put in their own homes.
