I have just watched a video about someone who were swimming in a creek,but then swept away by flood. All the things happened all of a sudden, they tried to get back to the bank but failed. I was so sad to hear about these kind of accidents due to extreme weather. In fact, many bad things could be completely avoided if they respected the nature. Thid reminds me of the trend of climbing the Everest many years ago. At that time, many people who have climbed some montains dreamed to climb the Everest. Someone prepared really well before climbing, but a few people just thought that courage could defeat anything including the nature. As a consequence, only the ones who respected the nature and prepared well succeeded. These who looked down on the nature even lost their lives.
