Just shot this out the window of my office a few minutes ago:
This guy couldn't get his car started, and the water has been rising VERY rapidly this afternoon. This is usually just a very small stream leading into the nearby Allegheny River, but it's a monster now. He got the car out of there with literally minutes to spare! |

To make things even more amusing, this guy (estimated age: 115) decided he'd whiz down the hill and give 'er a try, even though the water is a good 3 feet deep. I went out to get some pictures because I couldn't help but be amused by a dumpster that was bobbing in the water, slamming up against a bridge. Once the water reached his hood, which took about 5 seconds, he managed to back out.

He was trying to drive through that? I wonder if that's his car or his parents. I'm sure they'd be thrilled. |

Danny, if this driver was about age [115] you should have offered to help the poor old guy. |

There wasn't time or need to help the guy... he came whizzing down the hill, straight into the water. It took him a matter of seconds to realize that this wasn't exactly the brightest of ideas, and he managed to back right out. |

Danny, this was my weak attempt at humor. Your original post, with photo, showed drivers estimated age as: one one five years, and any fellow 115 years old needs help in a flood, or anwhere else. |

I *meant* 115! The guy was pretty severely elderly. That was my weak attempt at humor...!
