Hurricane damage to your vehicle
When a hurricane’s winds of 74 miles per hour or more are accompanied by heavy rain, the resulting flooding can be devastating. And it doesn’t take much water to carry a car away ‘ the National Weather Service reports that only one foot of water can carry away a small vehicle, and that only two feet of water can sweep away most vehicles.
Flooding from storm surges and heavy rains can cause extensive damage to your automobile, including corrosion due to exposure to saltwater. This is of particular concern in hybrid and electric cars as the batteries in these vehicles are highly corrosive. Bits of material that are often drudged up in flood water can result in damage to your tires. And downed trees and power lines that strike an automobile can cause extensive damage.
