When will people learn about driving in flood waters, New car are so good sealing from dust and water leaks they float.

Afive-year-old boy is missing and four of his family members were hospitalised after their car was swept away by floodwaters in central-western New South Wales.
Police said their car was travelling along McGrane Way near Tullamore at about 8pm on Friday when it became trapped in floodwaters.
Emergency services rescued two other children and their parents, who were found clinging to trees.
However, the five-year-old boy remains missing and police are waiting to access the submerged vehicles.
The occupants of a second vehicle who became trapped managed to swim to safety and raise the alarm.
The four rescued people have been taken by ambulance to Dubbo Hospital for treatment.
A woman remains in a critical but stable condition, two children are stable, while a man has been discharged from hospital.
SES Assistant Commissioner Sean Kearns said it was an "extremely wet time across the state".
"Most river systems in western NSW are in some sort of flood, so we are warning the community to take heed when they travel," he said.
Tullamore is about 90 kilometres north-west of Parkes.
Across NSW, there are 19 flood warnings in place, and the State Emergency Service [SES] has conducted five flood rescues overnight.
The area of most concern is around Gunnedah in the state's north-east.
SES volunteers have door-knocked some residents, warning them to be on alert.
Bureau of Meteorology [BOM] forecaster Grace Legge said the catchment is saturated and the peak from the Peel River and outflows from Keepit Dam are combining.
"It will affect those low-lying areas — anyone near the river systems can be definitely impacted with water over the roads and crossings as well so as always 'if it's flooded, forget it'," she said.
"The levels could be higher than the flood levels that were experienced last weekend as well, just from the recent rainfall we are just seeing a lot of water that's pushing through, so it's combining from outflows from multiple areas and pushing down into the Gunnedah area."
The Namoi River passed the major flood level on Friday night. It is currently at 8.21 metres and rising.

This is so serious and sad.
We can only hope that the water levels drop in those areas.
A big shout out to all the emergency services who give up their time to help minimise the heartbreak of flood victims. 🙏

Yep very sad -although there is a lot of heavy rain on MNC and Northern Rivers it appears central west NSW is in a far worse condition.

More emergency warnings for Sydney, as SES battles 'extreme danger' to conduct flood rescues
Evacuation orders are issued in parts of New South Wales, dozens of people are rescued from floodwaters, and the SES fields hundreds of calls for help after wild weather hits already flooded parts of the state.

I seen on the news that one of the bridges over the Macquarie river in Bathurst is under water again for about the 10th time this year.

People downstream are copping it again there’s just nowhere for the water to go.
