26ft in 45 min. Water rose 1/2 a foot a minute not four hours you retard. You aren't driving in 1/2 a foot of water. You aren't wading to high ground in water rising that fast. You aren't getting to safety in water that will be 5' before you get there with a gaggle of pre-teens. In the dark. Someplace you've been for only a day or two.
Honestly they were dead before anyone knew there was a problem, and the only tragedy about it is it was them instead of you.
