Lots of negativity towards the OP, not a fan of that. He seems pretty up front regarding the situation and may not have as much knowledge as others on here. Not a fun ordeal to go through. Unfortunately it's one of those live and learn scenarios.

Here in Detroit metro we had a day in 2014 where most roads looked like that. I had four friends had the same thing happen on that day. All were hydro-lock and subsequent insurance totals. 2 BMWs and 2 Chryslers. I lucked out and my car (a Camaro SS with a CAI out of all things) made it home that day, but there were many close calls driving home from work. Sometimes finding high ground to avoid deep water is a more challenging task than you think when the streets are rapidly filling up with water and there is traffic gridlock all around you.
