I went through an underpass that was flooded yesterday morning around 10. Rain was heavy. Got off fwy, Cops were there and we had no where to go but go through the flood. Driving against traffic on one side of the street was not happening since cops refuse to let us do that. Median was a curb with traffic backed up for blocks as cops were trying to close off the area. Water was about 18-20" at its deepest. Sidewalk was buried under there. Cops kept pushing us to get through because they wanted to clear the area. There were about 6-7 of us who came through the off ramp right as cal trans were able to close the exit. A Fiat 500 stopped right in the middle while a couple of Hondas went through ever so slowly in front of me. A lower, older 3 series BMW was behind me which took a long time to get to the water's edge. I don't think if he made it through. I was long gone on the other side by now. Thankfully I was in my truck and had 4wd on the fly (not that I needed it). Who know how much mud or sand was under the belly of that ditch. Drove through without any issue. I hate to be stuck under there. Cops seem to not care about our well being or getting stuck in the ditch or not, but was only interested in getting us out of the area no matter the outcome.
