Was just watching that myself.
Imagine coming out the shop to find your car washed 5 miles down the road!
Unbelievable.
Also quite deceiving how strong the rushing water can be, those cars just looked like toy cars!

feel sorry for the owners and all those affected by the floods.
i thought the bloke letting air out of his tyres was an idiot, instead of risking his life letting air out why didnt he just get in and drive off?!?!?

When I was on holiday I tried walking backwards up a section in a water park where the water was just under waste deep moving at a slow walking pace and it was tough!

Every metre square of water weighs a ton so that's like the power of a never ending train ploughing through your town.
