Who would have the presence of mind in that situation to let most of the air out of their tires so they could drive the (white) truck out of the increasing flood!

Probably someone with firefighter or military training?
Amazing.

Here's to all the global warming pushers, may your winters be -30 below and four feet of snow in your driveway. Because I want you happy.
