John,
Flooding is tough to deal with.  Stay safe!
So many people get into trouble trying to drive
their SUV's thru the water.  It gets deep really quickly.

It don't have to get deep.

I've seen a fully loaded U.S. Army 5-Ton lift off the road in less than 6" of water. Hurricane relief supplies, and we were lucky we didn't to lose the truck, the load or the crew.

Are you talking hydroplanning?
