However, if you find yourself accidently in a flooded street, don’t stop your vehicle if the distance to drive is short. If your tailpipe is below water and you stop the movement of your vehicle, your engine will suck up the water causing complete engine failure.
Also remember, the Statewide Tornado Drill has been postponed until Friday, April 21, 2023.
