My family and I got stuck and were not able to evacuate for hurricane Gustav. We remained in our and received almost 8-12 feet pf storm surge. My truck got water up to the door handles. When the water started to rise I pulled the battery out in order to avoid any shorts. I have checked the fluid levels and everything appears to fine and water free. What steps should I take before I try to start the vehicle?
