What is the proper way to drive through deep water?
!DANGER! If you can at all, AVOID IT, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS MOVING WATER! BEWARE THAT THE WATER MAY RISE FURTHER. If you absolutely must, do so SLOWLY so as not to get water on the engine's electrical system. A wet ignition system will stop you on the spot. Also, water getting sucked into the engine's air intake will not only stop you in your tracks but do an exquisite job of damaging the engine and thereby enabling your mechanic to make more than one payment on their yacht.
I CAN NOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH. http://www.nj.gov/njoem/plan/flood-turnaround.html
* NEVER ignore barriers that warn of flooded or dangerous roads!
* Avoid areas that are already flooded, and areas that are subject to flooding. Seek higher ground. NEVER try to drive through swift water.
* The depth of water is not always obvious. The roadbed may be washed out, leaving a deep pit.
* If your vehicle stalls or is suddenly caught in rising water, LEAVE IT IMMEDIATELY and seek higher ground. Many deaths have resulted from attempting to move a stalled vehicle during a flood.
* Do not park or camp your vehicle along streams and washes, especially during threatening conditions.
* Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize flood dangers.
* Quick facts:
o Water weighs 62.4 lbs. per cubic foot and typically flows downstream at 6 to 12 mph.
o When a vehicle stalls in water, the water's momentum is transferred to the car. For each foot water rises, 500 pounds of lateral force are applied to the car.
o But the biggest factor is buoyancy. For each foot that water rises up the side of the car, the car displaces 1500 pounds of water. In effect, the car weighs 1500 lbs. less for each foot water rises.
o Two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles including SUVs and pickups.
