I was on a travel adventure with a female or male that felt like a gal pal, we both arrived on bicycles at a motel and the owner let us store our bikes in the ground level shed. We decided to walk around the neighborhood to look for a restaurant and when we stepped out of the shed, there appeared flood waters, which were creeping up on us. The waters were vast and deep and we had no escape plan, nor boat..
Just thought I'd throw this out there as a warning or, if nothing comes of it, a reminder to be prepared.
