]]> Comment on Are They Nuts??? The psychology behind why people attempt driving across flooded roadways. by HeatherNicole http://texasstormchasers.com/2012/01/25/nuts-psychology-people-attempt-driving-flooded-roadways/#comment-196 HeatherNicole Thu, 26 Jan 2012 06:21:21 +0000 http://texasstormchasers.com/?p=5597#comment-196 While I agree with and understand both Jenny and Greg's comments, I have to add my two cents. Last spring, I had to drive my daughter to school during a raging thunderstorm (gotta love Oklahoma). We made it to school okay, but on my short drive home it started raining so hard I could see the tail lights of the car ahead of me but that was about it. I would have pulled over, but there was no shoulder to the road and tons of traffic. Without realizing it until the last second, I drove into water- it had to be halfway up my tires but thankfully my car didn't stall. My point is, if someone drives past a barricade or emergency personnel- that one's on them. THAT is sheer stupidity. I also agree that people don't know how to act during a warning and wait to see what other people are doing before they take action. However, I think sometimes in these situations, it truly can be an accident. Instead of people just being idiots, I think some cases are simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Not only are they selfishly putting themselves in danger, but they also causing greif and pain to the family members they will leave behind if they should die in their stubberness and they also needlesly risk the lives of the responders who have to put themselves in harms way to rescue them. It boils down to: the DECISION was made that a hazard exists when the barricades were put in place. PERIOD! THE END! Their only decision is to accept that decision and drive away from the hazard.
