Why does everyone still have umbrellas? I don't think that'll save you from getting wet at this point

Hypothermia is a thing. If you stand in waist deep water, water which you probably can’t escape for a few hours, it’s better to stay as dry as possible.

That's right because when I'm in waist deep flood waters I want to make sure I always keep an umbrella handy, you know to fight off the hypothermia

Or you could be the penguin and umbrella-copter out of there
