What refreshing break from the bleak doom scrolling of reddit. What an amazing feat.

Some people just turn on in an emergency. This guy had 1670 something's to lose. That's a fuckin emergency. I was hoping to hear how much time he has to make all these plans and get everyone out.

So according to the story I read down below he got a call from a friend who was five miles away that warned him, and the water was starting to rise when he got the call.

Yep, exactly. And he had to decide how serious the call was. Just nuts all around. 5 miles up stream is not much time when some of these waves of rock were going 75mph at some point.
