Quote

A homecoming queen on her way home from from her prom was killed by floodwaters in Devine, Texas, about 35 miles southwest of San Antonio.

Alyssa Ramirez, who was also a cheerleader who played tennis and volleyball, spent Saturday night at her prom and was driving home Sunday when floodwaters swept her car off the road, according to NBC affiliate WOAI and a funeral home.

There were no barricades on the road and Ramirez's car stalled out in the high water a few miles from her home, Roberta Ramirez, Alyssa's aunt, told the station.

"She did the right things," Roberta Ramirez said. "She called 911. She called her father, but it was just too much and too quick."

Poor girl had her whole life ahead of her.  :bawl:

A seemingly small mistake can be fatal.

People all too often underestimate the destructive power of water.
