The Bronco Vs the North Florida flood

Well here in North Florida it is under water. Was driving the Explorer UNTIL I hit a spot on the road last night when the headlights became underwater lights. Explorer made it thru but I knew with rising water I had to break out the Bronco. Quick fan change back to the electric as the flex fan loves radiators in deep water, and off to town and back, mom is in the hospital so no choice, Bronco pulled thru with flying colors! ;D Even had a few J@@ps turn around as I got into some of the deeper spots!

Taking it out for a swim I see. Be careful, looks like Nashville did a few years back. A mess for sure, makes going anywhere a pain.

I want to know what idiot drives a possum dragging car out into that. I have to wade water all the time (back when it used to rain around here) and always knew better than to get into anything swift or too deep for my truck.

Flipping awesome. Way to represent!!! My Bronco stayed in the garage for this storm but here in the outskirts, there was no need to break her out.

Wow....fantastic perspective! Sorry about all the water and damage to the area... but it's great to have a vehicle that can handle it.

I see a future wheel bearing repacking coming soon. Maybe a good check of the axle oils as well.

Awesome pics - looking at those stranded vechicles makes me wonder what the insurance claim would look like... denied due to driver negligence?

I am out of town rev i hope thats not saint cloud i will be back in a few days.

No it's not anywhere around here that I know of everything looks pretty dry, even the Manor. I think in another thread he said he is doing stuff (work I think) up in North Florida during the week, it may be up there. Also based on the Sheriff sign it's probably around Lake City.
