Yes, when I was in high school (it was my senior year) we had really bad rain and roads were flooded. This was when I lived in Indiana. Anyway, I was driving into school, and there were cars backed up in our neighborhood!I thought I would be "smart" and take the backroads in. Bad move...because all the back roads were flooded because there is a river right there that had overflowed its banks. *duh* So, much to my chagrin, my minivan got stuck in the water on the road. I think the water was up to my door, so if I had opened my door to get out, the water would have flowed in.
Of course, I started to panic and these people in their huge a$$ trucks were passing me by, but one good samaritan pulled alongside me and asked if I needed a "push". I said yes, so he got behind me and gave me a nudge so I was able to get out of the waterhole. He said that the rest of the backroad wouldn't be any better and that I should just get on the back road. Since I couldn't go back the way I came (I would just get stuck in that waterhole again) he told me a different way to go and said he would follow me to make sure I made it back onto the road. That was very nice of him, because that made him get stuck and sit in the horrendous traffic into town. I finally got to school 2 hours late and never got to thank the guy. It's nice that there are good people out there though
