What was that light showing through the back window? And is it really true moderns cars lock up under water? What is the purpose of cars locking up under water? I'm so glad it never rains in so.cal. Poor chick!

No it was most likely the water pressure difference (water outside, air inside) that made it too hard to open the door...the thing is...once there is water inside as well the doors should pop right open because of equalized pressure..but she likely gave up to early...also head rests pop off and have sharp spikes on the end.

And to the person asking if she looks Black...yes she looks black...even if she is mixed...she looks black...stfu

As for the hummer moving through the flood water...99.9% chance it had a muffle that was above the water level...those are after market add ons that you see on occasion

Claudia Melgar, a Houston Community College student, has been named as the eighth flood victim after her body was recovered from an SUV submerged under 30ft of water.

Attachment 681925

The 25-year-old was last seen leaving a local nightclub in the early hours of Monday morning and had text her mother on the drive back to ask if she wanted anything.

'That was the last we heard from her,' said her cousin, Linda Rodriguez.

Sadly Melgar drowned in her SUV before an officer could reach her.

Melgar was found in her white, Dodge Durango on evening Tuesday near Loop 610 and the Southwest Freeway after crews worked all day to drain the flooded tunnel in the Galleria-area.

I lived in Houston at one time. They don`t have storm drains that I know of. Me and a friend went to a party in a highrise apt.....While at the party Housron had the most hellish thunderstorm I`ve ever seen. We left when the storm was over and got into his 2 DAY OLD brand new Camaro. The streets were fine but in seconds the water rose so high it was up to my ankles in the car. When it got to our knees we climbed out the windows. Water was up to my waist by then. Luckily, there was a high embankment and we made it up there. Well, we watched that Camaro sink until only the roof was showing. Glad I moved.

She wasn't driving that fast when she hit the water, looked like maybe she thought it wasn't deep? Who knows.

I saw an episode of myth busters about going underwater in a car...... The myth was you can open the door once the car fills up, and equals out the pressure on the door.
Turns out that if you go under, and you don't have the means to break a window, you're fucked
Gotta roll down a window ASAP.

Was someone operating the camera while it recorded her going through the water, or was the camera movement automatic? If it was a person watching her, did that person do anything to help such as calling 911? Or going to her vehicle if the person was near her? I hope they didn't just sit back and watch...

Would be about 8 minutes she could have had to open the window while the car was...seemingly still on.

Wonder what she was doing with her cell though...she didn't call her mom or 911....it would really be annoying if she was actually doing a selfie to share. I can see people doing that in this time period.

Whole family was lost in Ireland a few weeks ago, SUV Slid into the sea, but the father managed to hand the baby out the window,to a young guy who swam out to help...makes you wonder,you must only have seconds,once the water is window level..She seemed to have more time, but with the drink in her system,panic...she wasted it...maybe she thought it was going to settle, and not go under completely, but i doubt she was even thinking that clearly...
