I loved that car, and I have been looking for another one. It took a few days but I found another Ultramarine Monogram with 1 owner and low miles. Chase and Jaguar has a promotion running so I’m also buying a Jaguar XE R-Sport in Blue. It comes out next month. So it kind of worked out, but I still wish this did not happen.

It’s a flash food. These things come out of nowhere. It was raining so hard I could almost see nothing. I was driving down the street and next thing I know it was a river. The street has a slight decline in it which is very hard to tell. I didn’t know how low the street was till I swam out of my car. The street was 6 feet or more lower than the parking lots that surrounded it. So all the water is going to one area, that where is flooded. There have been entire freeways under water in Houston. It crazy how fast these floods can happen in heavy rain. I never knew this was an area that flooded.

Yes, Allstate totaled the car and they have been very nice. They are paying for the rental, still working on the final value, but there has never been anything wrong with the car. I have zero deductible on comprehensive and since this was not an accident, this falls under comprehensive and so far I have paid nothing. Allstate has covered everything.
