No, it's not mine. Just caught the video on the internet and thought you folks might enjoy it. He is lucky it didn't stall in the deep part or it could have been totaled.

That pretty good the it didn't stall in the middle of that river of water. We could sure use that here in Cali! Take it to California and let it dry out for a couple weeks in this heat and dryness, should be good to go!

That's crazy towards the end, when all the water was coming over the hood. That must have been a couple feet deep.
