Well technically I live in Friendswood, which is a bit SE of Houston. More or less between Houston and Galveston. We are on the third night of rain and it looks like this will be just as notable as the previous two. Saturday night the water came up in my yard halfway. Last night, not so bad. So far, over the last two days, I've had to go run some errands and help others. I've not driven through anything deeper than curb height or just a bit over. The leaf doesn't have an air intake so it won't really flood out, but electricity and water aren't the best combination. So is there any known limitation there with either of my two cars (2015 Leaf S and 2016 Volt Premier) and going through water like that?
On the ironic side, The Hummers are well suited for this weather. Maybe it was all a conspiracy to cause global warming to drive up the demand for the big azz trucks. :shock:
Anyway, my only other options are a Subaru 2003 WRX and an Outback (Hobie, not Subaru). The WRX isn't dependable right now and the kayak doesn't handle non-aquatic areas very well.
Any insight or information on this would be appreciated. I'm sure that more appropriate vehicles will be difficult to find in the immediate future.
Oh, and on a secondary note, I'd suggest not buying used cars from Houston in the next few months.
