A good idea, jag, but high water can't necessarily be predicted...perhaps when the roads were built years ago, high water wasn't an issue. I would think that now, in 2001, that it is easier. But as an example...
The last Johnston PA flood was only a result of a 10 inch concentrated rainstorm. 20" and 40" are quite extraordinary. But who were these truckers who thought they could drive though anything?

Fire is easily created as water rise. One need only short the batteries.

I've done a lot of things with surprising no damage. One was to have an auto battery explode directly in front of me.
