Can cars be left in open spaces during heavy rain?

[JulianDella]

During heavy rain, cars can be left in open spaces, but it will still have certain impacts on the vehicle. For example, rainwater can corrode the car paint, leading to oxidation; the car's interior is prone to moisture and mold, and rainwater can seep into the body seams, causing rust and corrosion on metal parts; additionally, the damp interior can breed bacteria, affecting the driver's health. During heavy rain, low-lying areas are easily flooded. To prevent the car from being submerged, it's best to find a higher ground. If a higher ground is not available, the owner can place items like bricks under the wheels to raise the vehicle's chassis as much as possible, effectively preventing the car from being flooded. If the car is already submerged during heavy rain, never attempt to restart the engine. Take a photo of the scene as evidence for insurance claims, immediately call the insurance company to report the incident, and then contact a rescue tow truck for assistance. If conditions permit, it's best to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery, shift to neutral, and push the car to a safe location.
