Even in an unexpected downpour, you shouldn't keep driving with water up to the top of your hood. Cars are not boats, and engines stall out. Park it. Even if you have to sleep in your car. You'll be safer.

Should install a snorkel if this is so common. That way your air intake is free from water and you can tread through higher water. So long as your engine is not submerged you should be fine.

I have spent my life traveling until I set up roots in Austin Tx. No place rains like Texas. With a 20% chance of rain it can be dry then boom in less than a minute you can be swept away. I learned when I moved here in 2017. I almost got swept away . No one around to help me. Gratefully I was able to grab hold of a tree branch and pull myself up. Any chance of rain now I make sure I am inside where my foundation sits high.

[@chilkat_river]

Years ago I was working as an electrician in Austin. One day a tropical rain came. I was working in the foundation level two stories below street level. The foundation was 300 feet by 150. When I saw water pouring in from the streets I ran to the stairs to get out. I wanted to turn off the power but when I got to the switches I was in waist deep water. I said F that and got out. It happened so fast!

This is why we keep life preservers in our cars. The actual vest for the non swimmer. The flat cushion type in my car. I generally expect I won’t be grabbing them because we drove into submarine depths. Mostly in case we can’t stay put and have to wade out. Or to throw to someone else in distress . The flat one doesn’t take up much room. It’s handy for a seat cushion or pad cargo. When placed over my cooler on a sunny day, the ice packs don’t melt as fast. Considering how many people live in flood zones, and how many drown on the roadway, everyone should have some in their vehicles. Be safe Happy motoring 👍😎

"We Are Stronger" A Poem by Steven F Gooden We're never as strong, as we are until we have to be. Never Do as much, unless the need we see. Only give our best, when we fail at mediocrity. We Love rather than hate when we admit we're one humanity. We always give more, when compassion moves our heart with unbridled generosity. We Become more of our potential when we are made to see, that clearly our minds can believe in unfathomable possibilities, while seizing every opportunity, here in lies one's destiny. More than our scars, higher than our stars, for in our flaws are what defines our features, they're uniquely ours, as human creatures. We can run faster than on our slowest day. Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night. Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. by Steven Gooden

Reason better, and thinking it through all the way, regardless which direction our emotions may sway. We can find our voice when speechless, our strong words with meekness and our Courage in weakness. Always patience not quickness. Silence for peace than loudness, quietness of fear, not hopeless, for time and effort are equally unbiased. We are more than the stories we're told, we're the one's we write, each page unfold. We are the sum of our Lies and truth, fantasy, fiction, faith, and myths, no matter how uncouth. These are what shape us, our lives lived is the proof. We can be more right than wrong. More just than judge. More godlike than unlike. Reflecting Sunlight in our darkest night. Providing refuge. Never more alive until we die within and begin again. A Human Ark Divine in our human spark. by Steven Gooden

I live on Weber and Dunbrook in Corpus Christi and it didn't flood in my area when this disturbance hit the city. This area per the video ALWAYS floods because of the drainage system. Btw, it rained Saturday at 8pm all thru the night and all day Sunday in my area...no flooding

So many engines sucking down water. Nobody knows how to drive in water. Most seem to think their vehicle doesn't even need air.

used to live in PNW which has reputation for rain but there's a lot more continuous drizzle than torrential. it was only after I moved to Virginia that I experienced torrential rain that you have to turn hazard lights on to be seen by other cars but we don't have alot of flash floods. it is hard to comprehend getting caught in that. Prayers are with you all

I just want to know how the driver at 4:17 even had a clue as to whether they were on a road or not! Nicely captured, Brett :) Lemme know if you stop in DFW on the way back to wherever the next chase is. I'll buy you a beer

[@Jack-vk5ko]

If you know an area well enough, you have pretty good idea where on the road you are. When I lived in Maryland, I was heading home into a snow storm that leveled everything flat but you generally know how everything looks to know where you are in the space (like knowing in this area, its about 8 ft from the edge of the road to bush/tree line, etc).

[@ericg7183]

Sad to say, this is my hometown. The flooding is due to one or both of two things. One, lack of cleaning of storm drains, which collect tons of trash and end up blocking them, preventing proper drainage. Second, corruption by current and past city elected officials, most of whom have been real estate developers and building contractors, that have pushed for residential development in known flood plains. As long as they get their dollar, though.
