haha genius. so during the flooding are u guys off of work?

 

Well I am cause my store in closed cause the mall is shutdown. Most businesses are closed because people can't get across the highway due to it literally becoming a lake lol

 

You have not mentioned any evidence that your car actually flooded. Did water get in the cabin? If not, you are 100% fine to drive it. Even if it did, as long as it did not get too high it may still be mechanically sound, although the interior carpet may need ripped out.

Source: Had a car receive minor flooding in the streets of Houston a couple years ago. Had to rip the carpet out but everything else was 100% fine. Also had water up to my beater's rocker panels twice (see photo) in Harvey and drove it yesterday and it is also fine.

 

She's alive and well ! Had it towed to a shop and pulled the spark plugs and cranked the motor. No water shot out of the spark plug outlets but a bunch of steam and some water came out the exhaust. It was still kinda rough starting it up but it starts up and idles smooth now.

 

I know at the time I was posting the water level was rising so I was just wondering at what level I should be concerned about water damage. I'm thankful that water did not rise high enough to get into the cabin. Almost a third of the cars in my town got flooded and im blessed to not be one of them. You went through Harvey too? You didn't think it was gonna be that bad huh ? I sure as hell didn't. I'm happy to see your car is fine too

 

We've been there almost daily covering the aftermath. I've seen a number of photos of G Coupes submerged. There's an estimate of at least 500,000 cars that were lost. You're quite lucky!

 

Every vehicle in Clear Lake Infiniti's lot flooded.

 

Most likely because there are no official evacuation routes or plans in place for any disasters.
Where would over 6 1/2 million people go?
Texans do not like any rules or regulations.
POOR PLANNING
During hurricane Sandy some NJ residents headed south, stayed in Delaware until power was restored.

Glad everything worked out for you man. I live in southeast Houston and man my neighborhood had extreme amounts of water. I'm not even in a flood zone and water made it's way up passed the halfway mark in my driveway. Thankfully the house was built up and I had a garage. Again, glad your car is safe and you are as well.

 

Feel free to stick your head back up your **** because you haven't the slightest clue about what your speaking about. Go ahead and leave this thread and don't come back.

 

I don't mind evacuating to your house. Whats your address.

 

It's crazy how I passed by I40 West from VA to AZ and back just last month

 

Smart thinking!

Haha we have the same beater! 2000 TL here with the AV6 transmission swap, 290k and still running strong. A great commuter car.

 

I appreciate it man. I heard Southeast had it way worse than my area. I'm relieved to here that you and your property were unharmed by the floodwaters. Water rose past the curb in my apartment but didn't make its way any higher thankfully. I guess we got pretty lucky huh

 

Something urgent like that could've allowed us to find higher ground or at least prepare to embrace the floods. By the time the emergency alert came in and the rain started pouring it was too late for any of us to go anywhere or do anything. Alot of these deaths could have easily been prevented.
