When it flooded out here about 3 years ago the road was under about 6ft of

Yep even if the engine doesn't ingest water, it can get into the tranny vent.
Unless a vehicle is set up for fording deep water don't do it. And if there's a
current, don't do it even then.

After torrential rains a couple weeks ago (something like 4.5" from
Thu-Sun), I forgot and went down the logical road on the way home from a
friend's house. When I saw the road closed sign, it was time to decide

Coming home just now a sudden torrential downpour and thunderstorm occurred.
Heaviest rain I have seen in a long time. Flash flooding developed quickly.
Turned off the highway on in road with 1.5 more miles to go. About half way
down the road the ditches filled up quickly and we found ourselves
