Not to hijack but, in some areas yes, however...

Natural disasters have been at their lowest in centuries.

Key word "natural" because most of the problems today are "created"

Weather and climate have and always will be changing, mostly due to the sun.

This is not opinion, its easily verifiable, back to your regularly scheduled "programming"....

⚠️ Warning: Driving/towing thru Deep "Water" can cause most of same problems as "Flood Cars" have even tho may not get in the cabin.

"Water" Higher then ~ 4" to ⅓ of total wheel height can cause brake, bearing and other problems. Driving thru even at low speeds can cause large wakes/waves to hit higher things.

Wheel Bearing sets and some others are Not Water Proof.
Starter and other low mount electrical items are Not Water Proof too.

Weather Pack and many related connectors often barely passes as water/weather Resistance parts in the real world.
Low mount Starter, Alternator, and more are not even close to that.
Brake Calipers and other brake parts barely tolerate splashing "water" just to drive in normal rain storms. Rear Fiero brakes (And other GM models w/ same setup.) hate water more because piston design w/ plastic plug in front.

So Make sure any "water" is drain fast or can have big headaches soon after.

"Water?" Because often means Very Polluted Water w/ god knows what crap that carries.

Glad to hear that you saved the two Fieros and that your home was unaffected. Our home is at 550' elevation so there is little chance of flooding but it has been a problem at the towns at the lower levels. Always good to have a few pails of freeze dried food at your disposal should you get cut off by flooded roads.
