That's a good reason. There are others, too. It's smart to evacuate early because if you wait too long, your route could be flooded or, worse yet, you could be stuck in traffic when the storm hits.

This is a TRUE statement. Any car can float for a while if the water is deep enough.
This is a FALSE statement. No car is safe in a flood, and S.U.Vs aren't any safer than other cars in deep water.
This is a TRUE statement. For each 30 centimeters (1 foot) the water rises, around 227 kilograms (500 pounds) of lateral force can be applied to a car. For each 30 centimeters the water rises up the side of the car, the car weighs 680 kilograms (about 1500 pounds) less. So, most cars can be pushed off the road by 30 centimeters of moving water, and can float in 60 centimeters (2 feet) of water.
This is a FALSE statement. When you drive too fast on a wet surface, a car's tires can lose their grip on the road. This is called hydroplaning.
This is a FALSE statement. This is a recipe for disaster! More than half of the people that die trying to drive across flooded areas do so at night.
