Dan your post is more informative than the
dont drive to work,
don't drive to school,
don't drive to see your girl
don't drive home when it starts raining and
"Just don't drive in water like that. Problem solved."
which I humorously tried to echo in my post number 7.
And you are correct. Don't drive but stop in a puddle is almost an
instant hydrolock...... "problem solved"

there's minimal gains from short to cold air intakes anyways, especially on shitbox hondas making 160hp. i kept my intakes short, not worth the hassle.
fyi people, some roads have water on them that doesn't look deep and or has been navigated without issue before, but all it takes is a little bit, especially on MAF sensored cars to start bucking and sputtering. good luck just stopping in traffic if you encounter a puddle.
