The worst flooding experience occurred to me when I got caught in a wicked rainstorm while going to work in the afternoon. It was pouring so hard and fast that even my wipers at their highest setting were useless.

I exited off I-80 and ended up in a low lying street. Water was at the level of my rocker panel, and a lifted pickup was going faster than he was supposed to, making a tidal-wave that made the flood water splash a little on my window. (What's up with these douche-bag drivers and their obnoxiously-lifted rigs anyway ??). Thought for sure I'd end up with a wet floor after that episode, but luckily nothing was damaged.
