@rakski There is a saying that reads "If it bleeds, it leads."

I am in agreement with you since Emma's save did not make it to the evening news reports. Just the sad news of those who lost their lives.

I have seen them on the evening news and it is even worse than when Hurricane Laura hit Lake Charles in 2020.

@Deepizzaguy It's hard to believe the water could rise so quickly.

That is a lot of people to be killed as victims of the flood, and it appears that safety precautions might not have been being followed for that many to be killed, like that.

That is what the evening news said that the warnings to leave the area came too late/
