As a reminder, please do not drive through floodwater or around road closure signs. NHTSA document relates the following: Don’t underestimate the power of water, the condition of a flooded area, or how fast water is flowing. These errors in judgment can be fatal. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that over half of all floodrelated drownings occur when vehicles are driven into hazardous floodwaters. A flood area with six inches of rushing water can knock a man off his feet and an area with two feet of rushing water can carry away most cars, pickup trucks, and SUVs.
