Whoa. They needed the "snorkel" option.
If that is in Texas, I'm guessing Houston area. In DFW we didn't have that much rain yesterday/last night, and we have fewer low-lying areas like The Bayou City.

Default 928 in yesterdays flooding

Watching the Today this AM showed a 928 owner standing knee deep on a flooded road next to his black 928, some where on the east coast. A painful sight

I'm assuming fresh water...and if that was as deep as it got then typically not a problem. It looks like they were on the way out of it from the pic..maybe appeared to be a "i can make it through that" depth for those who don't know about hydro-locking. Guy's missing his fuel pump cover too. Watch for it at Copart.

Looks like a rescue worker talking to the owner in the car. Texas plates.

Not the way we want to see a 928 get famous. Hope it's going to be ok after that, doesn't look too deep there.

My worry would be it NOT showing up on Copart but instead ebay, autotrader, BaT, etc.

National news letting the locals insert their storm warnings. Pretty sure it is Tejas.

One of the guys on another 928 site said that this was in Arkansas. Flash flood. Car was back running in 2 hours and is on the road again.

Glad that no sharks were hurt in the filming of this episode.
