“Please let this be a lesson to stay off the roads when flooding is possible,” the department wrote with its post.
The woman was given a life vest before being whisked away to safety, as the video shows.
As relayed by Federal Agency Management Agency, people should avoid crossing flood waters, and definitely not enter them if it can be avoided.
“Rapidly rising water can engulf the vehicle and its occupants, sweeping them away,” the agency said on its website.
