Be honest... Who in Florida was dumb enough to drive their TJ during Ian...
TJ water rescue
- Thread starter Artsifrtsi
- Start date
As if a boat sitting in the middle of a field wasn't enough of a deterrent
And the boat would lead you to think it is salt water....This is why I have little sympathy when the same person gets on here starting a thread with electrical problems later.

That’s not a field. It’s a saltwater marsh. Lots of canals throughout them. The boat looks be moored near a dock.
Not sure why the Jeep is there though.
Something like this.

If you look closely you'll see a sign that says 'no dumping'. So my guess is it was a roadway in between the marshes that happen to flood too quickly for dude to get out. Or was elsewhere and arrived too late to fetch his TJ.

That's what the guy in the Jeep said too.....
It's not just the salt water you need to worry about in a hurricane storm surge.
All the sewer plants back up and all the lines dump raw sewage into the water.
Coffins float out of the ground...ever put a sewage tank in the ground? You promptly fill it with water before it floats out of your hole.
Gas and diesel fuel tanks leak.
That water is a miasma of chemicals, sewage, salt...it's an incredible mess...I've responded to two hurricanes and expecting a call from my boss any moment.
Oh and then you have downed power lines...and most are dead...but then jack asses hook up generators wrong and start back feeding the grid...
To all those in the path, good luck and let us know what we can do to help!

Picture looks like a water color. Sure hope we didn’t lose a white TJR, man they are getting hard to find. I see the x now.
Lord what a mess.
You just end up tagging me in them
Lord yes. I sure can’t fix anything electrical. Got a puppy when I was a kid, nearly killed it trying to put batteries in it.
This is a tangent, but the above pics are what concern me with snorkels- giving 18 year old kids the idea they are on Sea Hunt and the TJ is a little U- Boat. People get killed routinely in vehicles and high water.
