I think what prompted the advice to get on the roof was that in previous flooding situations , people went from the top floor into their attics , with no way out , and were drowned there as water continued to rise . If the attic has a window , no problem – but if not , they’d better have an axe with them to break through onto the roof . My concern with the advice is this – if water rises to the top floor and forces folks out a window below the roof line , how are they to get onto the roof ? Tread water for a couple of hours until the water line reaches the eaves ?
Government agencies are not known for their practical logic , are they ?
