From Storm Runners #2: The Surge "Stay next to the wall!" Chase shouted. "I'll lead us to the edge of the building, then you can take over." "There's a lot of water," Nicole said. "I know, but the only higher ground is where your house is... or was. What's behind the house?" "Woods," Nicole answered. "And a lake." "How big is it?" "Big. But it's never overflowed before, and our family has lived here for seventy years." It's flooding now, Chase thought. Big time.
