Bob CollinsThere are so many troubling aspects to this just-released video of a water rescue in flood-devastated Arkansas yesterday. There’s the woman who ignored everything she’s ever been told about driving into standing water, there’s her effort to save her SUV once a reporter jumped into the water to help her, and there’s the TV photographer who didn’t do anything to help, probably because it would’ve meant sacrificing a great piece of video. That is, after all, what he/she is paid to do.
Meanwhile, much farther north, residents of three South Dakota cities have been urged to evacuate because of the flood threat from the Missouri River.
