Hurricane water moves very fast. It is dirty water. You cannot see anything submerged. You cannot stop what will crash into you.
But what if in life jacket.. tho I guess it still can cover you and you can gulp that water etc.. scary 😟 I would think people have chances when just flooding but probably hurricane flooding is more fierce like you said
https://t.me/putingers_cat_chat/403860The current will beat you to death. You will be pushed into buildings, boats, other debris, and under trees. Fireants form balls and float. Gators and sharks are in that same water. Sewage is in the water. Coffins, bodies of people, and animals float by. There are venomous snakes swimming by.
A life vest is designed for calm water.
In my area, snakes will head for higher ground. Water moccasins come to mind. All manner of insects do, too. Ants, fire ants, spiders, termites, and roaches, etc. The hurricane this time brought larger insects to my area. Rodents live by water. They head to higher ground, too. Rodents attract snakes.
After hurricanes, even if you aren't in a hard hit area, you will do bug control, check to see if you have snakes in the yard, clean up the yard and do necessary repairs. Strong Cat3 or above-evacuate!
