Is it not fascinating and exciting to see water showing coming down some dry creak-bed? Or hear and see a wall of water arrive in a flash flood?
It annoys me that all this predicted flooding is occurring over and over and no one bothers to document the water's actual approach.
I think it would be gripping footage to show a huge field, or a school, or town, and this little tongue of water, a harbinger, creeping relentlessly forward to swallow it all.
There should be some time-laps shots of this happening too.
