Make sure to roll down your window right away because the doors will be difficult to open in rising water."There is no right answer. It depends," said Bushra. "There are going to be times where if it is safe for you to get away from your car and you can see higher ground that's safe, do that. And there will be times, if it's just a raging river and you are going to get swept away, try to stay with the car and hope to be rescued.
"Things are fast-moving, so they may not have realized it was happening until it happened. So it's important to heed the weather reports, do what you can to be diligent," said Patrick Glynn, the deputy chief with Narberth Ambulance.Copyright © 2023 WPVI-TV. All Rights Reserved.
