rain puddle 1, disco 0

So I have to go pick up my son from daycare during a rain storm and the main street through town was flooded, about 6 to 8 inches of water on the road. I keep on rolling at about 25 mph, hit the water and that was all she wrote. lights flashing, steam billowing and then nothing. Dead in water literally. I could crank it but it would spit and sputter then stall if I even thought about giving it gas. After multiple starts I was able to inch it off the road and into a parking lot. Once there I let it idol for a while till it finally cleared up and straight back home I went. As for my son, I watched my wifes little Escape shoot through the flood to go pick him up like it wasn't even there...
