TESTIMONIALS
What viewers have to say
OMG! This felt so real. It was scary! I’ll for sure think twice before driving through a flooded street again!
I knew we had flooding in Vegas, but I had no idea it could be so bad. I’ll be way more careful during flood season.
I know friends that take their trucks through flooded streets. I’m going to get them to watch this!
