It's pretty, but is it art?<p>There was intense <a href="https://meow.social/tags/FlashFlooding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>FlashFlooding</span></a> here the other night. </p><p>The road ahead was COMPLETELY under a torrent of fast moving water, and as I K-turned, I tried to warn another driver to turn around with too. He drove around me, and I watched in my rearview as the car was instantly ripped off the road and into a field.</p><p>I'm sure he was ultimately okay, the field isn't that deep, and no casualties were reported, but the mental image of those tail lights instantly disappearing is still really fucking me up.</p>
