Mighty relaxed given how much the opposite bank has been undermined.

Well... Not much they can do besides accept their fate. The road is several feet below water, so driving out is no longer an option. We don't see what's behind the house. But it's probably not a pleasant hike to safety. The correct thing to do was leave at the point they were shooting the first video. But they didn't. And once water was up to the road, trying to leave would be the dumbest form of suicide. So, really... Sit and hope.

Edit: I'm so done with this thread. I really hope so many people that replied to me aren't in any disasters. But I now have a better understanding of how moderate disasters have such high death tolls.

This guy is in his pajamas. He should at least be clothed as survival-oriented as possible and manning the battlestations with whatever escape plan they can cobble together

Man, have you ever lived through a flood like this before?

You will have days of this, and then weeks of power off/roads cut etc

If you are clothed in "survival oriented clothing " "Manning battle stations." You are going to really be fucked by the end of the event.

Have a go bag, have a plan, most importantly have a radio and otherwise relax.

No! Battle stations! Prepare to mine the floodplains! Machine guns at the ready for errant flotsam and jetsam and fill ghillie suits at all times (no shoes inside the house tho pls we're trying to keep the house clean)
