About 2 1/2 feet of water in the deepest part and there was a car that was stranded suddenly by the rapidly rising water. After seeing this, I felt it necessary to walk out and see if the motorists were ok. After putting on some flip flops, and shorts, I weathered the freezing weather and waded through the water. I found the car with 3 elderly people and realized they couldn't handle the freezing water. So I decided to push the car out of the flood risen waters to higher ground. I had to push the car roughly 100 + feet through the freezing water. To my surprise, a girl saw my picture in the Jerusalem Post and asked a friend of mine -- "Did George help some car out of flooded waters?" Upon which I found out that I made it in the Jerusalem Post. I thought you might be interested.

But the car was a pain to move through the water. As soon as I got it to dry land, I bolted and took a hot shower. It took a good 5+ minutes of hot water to regain feeling in my feet. It was freezing -- imagine -- we are in December in the mountains. It had hailed with tiny hailstones previously that afternoon of the flood. That's how cold it was. Anyway it was interesting how I got into the paper and I didn't even know about it until someone told me about it.
