2) Be aware your visibility will be limited. You may not see flooded areas until you are very close, so pay attention. 
3) Be ready to stop
4) Keep a lookout for flooded areas or standing water. Do not drive through flooded roadways, especially if you have a vehicle with low clearance. Find another way to get to your intended destination.
