As soon as I made the turn I hit the water and nailed the brakes and turned off the ignition but when I hit the brakes the brake dive dropped the nose enough for the water to rush over the hood and into the intake. Once resting the water was at about the same level as the car in that picture. I climbed out the window and pushed the car back up and out. Then I had it towed to the house where I pulled the plugs and intake and blew as much water out as I could. The car ran fine after that. Had I not killed the engine instantly it probably would have fully hydrolocked and done some damage.

You pushed an IS300 uphill, while it was partially submerged in water ….
