Sounds to me as if the water was already there and OP drove into it. And before anybody criticizes, people drive into floods all the time because they can't actually see that the road is flooded, especially when it's dark or raining hard. One minute you're driving along. Then you're floating. Or sinking. Yeah, sometimes people try to cross when they shouldn't, but a lot (if not most) of these water rescues in Texas were people who got into the water before they realized what was happening.
When I lived in New Orleans, it was a regular thing for people to drive into floods and hydrolock their motors. What happened in Houston, NOLA people just consider Tuesday. I always took the Jeep out if I had no choice but to drive when weather was bad, because I knew the BRZ was at greater risk. Luckily I lived on a street that was a few feet higher than the surrounding blocks, and the vacuum trucks had recently cleaned our sewers.
