This waterproof cover protects your car in a flood. It's called the Flood Guard. It claims to protect your car from floating away or being damaged by debris. It was inspired by waterproof bags used at the beach. Here's how it works.

1) Lay the bag down on a flat surface. 2) Hold the bag open. 3) Slowly drive or push your car into the bag. 4) Turn off your car and exit. 5) Zip the bag up. 6) Fold the zippered edge toward the car. 7) Connect the rear of the bag to the front using the straps. 8) Attach the padding. 9) Secure at least two straps to a post, tree, or fixed structure. This will keep your car from floating away. Now, your car is ready for water.

After finding success with the Flood Guard Securo Inc. made an updated version. The new version takes only one person to set up. It can be set up in minutes. And it's lighter than the original. The shape allows one person to roll the bag over the car. The Flood Guard could save you from buying a new car. Half a million cars were reported as flooded from Hurricane Harvey. Flood Guards start at $480.
