HOUSTON — Here in Houston, it doesn’t take a lot of standing water to damage your car.
You can lose control or stall in less than six inches of water. In just a foot of water, your car can start to float. In only two feet of water, your car can easily be carried away while you’re still in it.
If you encounter any high-water spots, remember the saying: “Turn around, don’t drown.” If floodwaters rise around your car, abandon the vehicle and move to higher ground.
Below is a list of high-water spots, as reported by Houston TranStar.
