Since the affected area involves nearly 10 million people they'll be tens of thousands of flooded cars down there. I'm guessing some will be GS 350s.

Maybe it's different where you are, but here in Toronto, I see maybe at most two or three 4GS a week besides my own - so I get rather excited when I do come across one, especially when it's pictured on the news. I don't think you can argue that probability wise, you're much more likely to see flooded Corolla's, Civic's, than a stranded 4GS.

An estimated 34 trillion gallons of rain associated with Hurricane Harvey is expected to fall. Some experts are saying this rainfall is a once-in-a-thousand-year event ... others say once-in-a-million-year event!!!

Through some images I have seen, it seems like the flood waters have hit some pretty affluent areas of Houston...so not surprising to see some nice cars being ruined.
Cars can always be replaced...Be safe out there!

I, too, thought it was kinda crazy for Delta to be caught with having some of their planes flooded when they had so much advance notice.

I remember sitting at a bar at night near old raised train tracks during a torrential downpour in the city Wilm, DE and just that one area was low where water would collect and was deep and I saw car and truck after car and truck get hydro locked trying to drive through that one area on that narrow little side street I doubt drivers thought was more then a few inches deep but it was probably 3 feet deep. You would never think in that part of the city you would find deep water like that but it was just that one area. Only lifted trucks could make it and were able to pull cars and trucks out.

Pretty crazy to see so many cars underwater. My car I purchased in Jan was a flood car from the West Virginia flood last year. I always wonder how much water the car was actually under. Ended up being a good car and paid half the price of a clean one, in the current state you would never know it was, it smells like a new car. It took some word to get it to that point though. You never know exactly what happened to the cars, if you intend on buying any car in the near future just beware there could be a massive influx of flooded cars, even at the dealers.

Remember the flooding that New Orleans experienced with Hurricane Katrina? If New Orleans received the same amount of rainfall that Texas has seen from Hurricane Harvey it would tower to 128 feet in height.
