During the Storm
When driving about the city and flood waters are rising at a rate faster than a minute, it is best to park your vehicle on higher ground. However, if your chances of parking your car on higher ground is bleak, it is best to stop the engine, get out and lock the car. Staying inside and waiting it out is more dangerous and might cost you more than that newly bought car, as escaping the flood via car windows and being stranded on top of it is hazardous.
