Phoenix. Where they WISH they knew what a ‘flood’ is. ‘Is that when the arroyos get so much water in them that you can SEE it?’

We know what a flood is. We also have plenty of stupid people who will drive through flooded spots even when there are signs saying DON’T DRIVE THROUGH HERE IF THERE’S WATER.

Back in the ’00s, one of the local radio stations did a parody of Dio’s “Holy Diver” called “Holy Driver” about a dumbass who tried to cross a filled arroyo and, yes, of course, his SUV got stranded in the middle and he had to be plucked off the top by helicopter.

We know flooding, it’s just that some people (a lot of people) are stupid about it. We’re the place where the Department of Transportation puts up warning messages on the electronic signs telling people to drive slower when there’s water on the roadway. No lie.
