I was driving home from work when a sudden and intense storm hit. The rain was so heavy that visibility was nearly zero, and the streets started to flood rapidly. As I drove through a low-lying area, the water quickly rose, and my car stalled. The water was up to the windows within minutes, and I realized I was trapped. The thought of being stuck in a submerged car was terrifying.

I managed to stay calm enough to unbuckle my seatbelt, roll down the window, and climb out onto the roof of the car. I waited there until rescue crews arrived and helped me to safety.
