Speaking of underground parking i was watching another video of flooding in SoBe where the garage was underground. There was no flooding on the street cause it was all running down into the garage and was high enough to reach the window of an SUV in the garage.
From my experience, you will need to change the oil. On top of that you will get a nasty smell in the car. Smelled like weed to me. You will have left over dirt and derbies from the water. You may also have electrical problems with floods that are knee high. Not too sure what else.

I had a 92 prelude back in highschool and it was parked on a spot where water collected. Well after school I found my car under nearly a foot of water. My dumb *** turned it on not knowing anything and the car would sputter like crazy and would want to turn off. I manage to take it home and left it there for 3-4 days. After the 3-4 days of drying, it ran perfectly fine with the nasty oil in the engine.
