    Have you ever seen storm surge? Literally a wall of water.... Houston has had over 30 inches of rain, I imagine the truck ended up getting trapped when the water was only cresting the road. No room to back up, just ditched the truck and attempted to reach higher ground.
    Had he hit water that deep the current would have moved the truck off path imo.

    Living in the desert, I've seen many flash floods. I remember the Arkansas River flooding when I was a senior in high school. But I have NEVER experienced anything like you are talking about. And I pray I never will!

    People in Houston need to do what I saw lots of in Australia. Put a snorkel on your vehicles.

    Last time I was in Texas visiting the inlaws, drove past a Dodge dealer that had 3 or 4 Ram pickups parked out front with snorkels...
