Now i just need a flood. I wish that it rained in Seattle. But i think that the hippies drive the clouds away, some how. I hate 'em, I hate 'em.

I wouldn't bother. It would be embarrassing to have the dash light up like a christmas tree and have all the electronics short out and them end up stranded in the river while mom sits alone at the baggage claim crying cause her family isn't there.

One thing to think about when driving through flooded roads is that there may not be a road under the water.
Last fall we had a lot of flooding here, and when the water receded there were a lot of places there were no longer sections of road, but there were several bodies in cars at the bottom of the ravines.

Picture is from central jersey saturday night..... the accord in front of me just made it out of the mid door water before it stalled, but I bet the drivers feet were really wet.

Father and kids sitting in traffic on the expressway, left lane closed due to a break down.
The break down is just past the upcoming bridge with a small river under it.
The kids say "dad, hurry, we're going to be late"
Dog in between the kids panting.
Dad looks at the clock.
"Dont worry guys, we'll make it in time"
He then heads down the embankment and adjusts his Terrain Response in his LR4 and drives threw the river with the cops and the tow truck watching.
He climbs up the other embankment and back on the expressway leaving all of the cars behind sitting in traffic.
Then you see dad and the kids and dog standing at a small airport while the door opens on a small turbo prop plane.
And who exits the plane?
Their mom who is coming home from Iraq still in her uniform.
Dad smiles, kids cry "mommy mommy" dog barks and dad turns to the truck as under his breathe says "thank you"

Man I should write commercial's.

Amazing Idea... I am going to share this one with my fiance when she gets home. You do a good job of describing just enough to paint a picture but not to much so that each reader can stylize it in their own way.

the Passaic has receded, and now the damage to everyone's houses is becoming evident... really sad to see neighbors lose sooooo much.

on another note, the Subaru looks like a terrarium on a hot day.
