Joe, I've a hint for you. It worked for the tide surge floods here last year during
Wilma. Get the biggest blue tarp you can find. Lay it out on the ground. Drive your car
onto it. Park it right in the middle. Then bring up the tarp all around your car and
tie it on top with a rope. As long as the tarp doesn't have a hole or get a hole your
car will even float but it'll stay dry. It's a cheap way to save your car from a small
flood. I guess it's too late this time but remember it next time.

Cheers,
Ellen
