Amid the flooding in Houston, Texas, a video from last year has gone viral.

During floods in Sumter, South Carolina, an 18-wheeler truck plowed through flood waters, which isn’t generally a great idea.

Somehow, the truck doesn’t get stuck or tip over.

Eventually, the vehicle makes it out and continues on its journey.

This week, however, at least seven people died and 1,200 people were rescued from floods in Houston, CNN reported. It flooded 1,000 homes and caused more than $3 billion in damages so far.

“I think the worst is over for a lot of these areas,” CNN meteorologist Pedram Javaheri said Tuesday. “Unfortunately, there’s still plenty of rainfall in the forecast.”
