Why The Chicken DIDN'T Cross the Road
Previously, I had talked about the danger posed by driving through a flood. If the safety guidelines from the National Weather Service’s Don’t Drown Turn Around® 
campaign haven’t convinced you of the importance of its message, consider these statistics from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration .
I think we’ve misled ourselves into believing that we’re just as secure inside the four sides of our cars as we are within the four walls of our homes. Not so. The image on the left explains why. And, as the statistics point out, SUVs and pickups are just as vulnerable as small cars to the hazards of driving through a flood. Still not convinced? Watch this video called Never Cross a Flooded Road, Available in three formats: avi , mov or mpeg2 .
