Message	Long story short, a car in front of me hydro planed and spun out because a local creek overfilled its banks. I was about six cars back and didn't notice the rising water. So, I call 911 and while on hold the water keeps rising and I didn't notice. When the operator answers I tell her that someone spun out and is blocking the road; while still on the phone with her, I heard three clunks and as soon as I heard that I said OH fuck, I knew I hydro locked my motor. I can’t believe what has happened I’m still in shock, for I just got done building my motor less then a year ago, spending more then 20 grand.
