  • Tonight's heart wrenching news ( July 18,2017) of the 9 family members of the Hector Garnica family who horrifically perished being swept away by flash floods JOLTED me ..... for exactly a year ago the SAME FATE For my eldest daughter was THWARTED THANKS to the OUTSTANDING ADVISE and GUIDANCE from the EMERGENCY ASSISTANCE STAFF AT THIS OFFICE. Thank God we had AAA The many many years of old fashioned advice from my now 97-year-old former biochemist/ mountain climber father rang in my ears as my daughter and her girl friend drove away from San Diego with my dad's old Honda -- a gift. They had NEVER been out West ( born in Connecticut raised in Virginia and now Minneapolis). AND it was boiling hot also last July 2016-- they were driving Nevada Arizona Monument Valley to 4 corners to Denver to minneapolis. I had driven cross country with my family in 1962 and been through all these states. My father's words after years of us living in Salt Lake City " ALWAYS keep your car tuned up... out there , all it takes is just a LITTLE rain, and you are driving out here and the road dips into a gully... you look up and a HUGE wall of water can be coming crashing towards you... so you hit the gas and GET OUT of that gully ASAP". So I took a crazy wild chance and called AAA Roadside assistance called AAA Roadside assistance ( Phoenix). A warm gentleman answered and I told him how scared worried I was for my very green inexperienced daughter. I told him she was driving all the way through Monument Valley. Could he please tell me exactly where the gas stations were and other safety advice for these 2 young women. He gave me the locations distance but MOST IMPORTANT... he said, " tell her if it starts raining she must immediately stop... Monument Valley has terrible flash floods and if she gets caught out there we will not be able to come out and save her.., it is very dangerous." I found out later long after she drove home that trip, that huge black storm clouds were behind them as they drove last July. THEY LISTENED to the ADVICE AAA GAVE US and drove 90 mph stopping only for essential gas NO SIGHTSEEING until they were out and safe on high ground in Utah across the border. AND thank God I called the Denver AAA office as well? the girls were planning on driving fast and diagonally to Denver through the middle of the state of Colorado . AAA DENVER SAID ," NO NO NO ???... the roads through that area may turn into dirt roads and our flash floods at this time will COMPLETELY WASH OUT THESE ROADS... she needs to drive straight North in the far western area off the state all the way to the crowded under construction slower interstate to Denver... IT IS SAFER??? I know tonight while she watched the news of the Hector Garnica family MASSIVE tragedy.... my daughter is quietly shaking... and saying ... " thank God Mom called AAA...." I only wish I had written this on Yelp earlier....
