This is definitely timely information. Houston has experienced many floods in the past years and each time there are deaths from people driving into flooded underpasses, bayous, etc.
Thanks for the information and the link.
And osewme, thanks for the information on the Res Q Me keychain. I am definitely purchasing for family and friends!

Thanks everyone, for more information. I know there's more out there, and if we just think about what we are doing in bad weather (and in any other weather, for that matter), hopefully we will be safe. I know there are factors outside of our control, but we need to be aware of what we CAN do. Thank you again.

This does not really show the impact of hitting rushing flood water or being washed into a river during a flood. Another observation was the man had a crank window. How many cars still have them. Getting out the front is the most important thing because back windows don't open unless you are in a really old car. Just try to find that little doohickey when you are in a panic.
Remember that when your car goes in the water your electric system is going to fail. You won;t even be able to get your keys from the ignition to use as a point breaker.
I feel this video is out dated and we need a more current tutorial on escape, though just learning to keep your wits about you is real important.
The best advice rescue teams can give you is to not drive threw water covered roads.
