    Default Flooding in Peru.....

    Lot of destruction and loss of life.....

    This vid was on the Weather Channel.....one segment is a guy in a car going down the river...car turns over, smashing windshield on a rock.....allowing him to get out and be rescued.
    Note....he never dropped his cell phone.

    It's soooo hard to get through to people how dangerous and powerful water is.

    So, like I was driving along and boom, out of nowhere this wall of water sweeps me off the road. I hope whoever owns that ditch has good insurance.

    Is that a rosary decoration on the hood of his car? I'd say he called in his favor.

    Wow the power of water in unreal sometimes. Thanks for posting, I'd read about the flooding but didn't see much video of it yet and I've actually been to that area of Peru in 2012.
