About this listen

 Episode 2: "Flash Flood - When Water Becomes the Enemy" reveals why flash floods kill more people than hurricanes, tornadoes, and lightning combined. Miles Mercer explains the deadly physics of moving water: six inches traveling at 25 mph can knock you down, twelve inches can carry away cars. Learn to read environmental warning signs that appear before official alerts, understand why "Turn Around, Don't Drown" saves lives, and master vehicle escape techniques when trapped by rising water. Discover swimming strategies for flood conditions, how to identify genuine high ground versus dangerous temporary shelter, and post-flood hazards like structural damage and contaminated water. The episode covers meteorological patterns, upstream threat assessment, electrical dangers in flooded areas, and creating evacuation plans that account for rapidly changing conditions.
