I know that in 1972 a flood came through upstate NY where I lived. I
bought a flood car afterward. I had electrical problems from the time I
got it running until I sold it!

Speaking about that...I'd be very leery about buying a 2nd hand vehicle
in North America these days. There are reports of some of the Katrina
flooded vehicles sneaking into Canada for re-sale.
