If you haven't had any warnings to avoid the situation, you get out of there as quickly as you can. That means getting people to safety, not trying to save property. You will not be moving any vehicles in 2-3 feet of rapidly flowing water.
There could be alligators, snakes, fish with teeth in those waters, but so what? In those conditions, the animals are unlikely to be feeding.
I am in a area prone to more serious flash flooding, not rising water in bayous, rather water rushing down the stream in a tight valley or canyon. What you do is move to higher ground as quickly as your legs can take you. In coastal and bayou areas, that can be more difficult, as higher ground can be ten miles or fifty miles away (e.g. Houston evacuates to San Antonio and Dallas). But then, on flatter ground, it is often not rising so fast, except for hurricane storm surge.
