Don't start it until the water is nowhere near the bottom of the engine compartment. You can't hydrolock if there is no water to suck up...

Can you sandbag your driveway to divert water around your car/garage/etc?

My G can sympathize with you... This was me a few years ago when we got excessive snow melt. (Total coincidence that there was a news crew filming, and I watched as the camera man followed me as I drove past...so I set the PVR to record the news that night.)

It caught me by surprise. I was following the car in front of me, as we were bumper-bumper and crawling, so I couldn't really see the pavement... I couldn't figure out why the log-jam.... Then next thing I know, there was water splashing onto the hood

Yeah, it actually wasn't that bad. As soon as I hit the water, it was like hitting a brick wall. I was going like 15-20mph, then when I hit the water, I slowed to like 5mph. It was only a small section of the freeway that was flooded. The right lanes were closed, because that's where it was worst. I basically crawled forward at idle to clear the water, then traffic picked up again.

This particular section of water was calm, it wasn' from a river or anything. (I wouldn't dare cross that type of flodd). This was caused by a failed storm drain on the freeway, and rediculously high water table.
