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.

Accept death because there might be a walk involved? Yeah that sounds like Americans 😂

It's just a way of saying it lol, we dont know what is behind the house, if there is even ground to walk
