And at least one guy decided to use the flooding as an opportunity to show off his Olympic spirit.
Just to be clear, the U.S. government definitely does not recommend going out in floodwater, noting that "just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 2 feet of water can sweep your vehicle away." So, please, don't go out in a flood if you don't have to. Do, however, share pictures of your cat from a safe, dry place.
