Damn. Tha's a lot of water. And it is very easy to underestimate the power of moving water...
I don't think it's overkill at all, but I wasn't in the local broadcast area. It's pretty easy to be pretty prepared to function autonomously for a short while, but lots of folks don't bother, believe it won't happen to them, are oblivious to dangers until it's too late, etc.
"Don't do stupid stuff! Be prepared for changes to your regular routine. Be aware of your surroundings." Sounds hard, and is hard for a lot of people. Obliviousness is excellent armor for all the slings and arrow of outrageous fortune, save the killing blow.
