On the JL, drive slow, lean your head out the window and use your lower door hinge as a reference point. The moment you can't see it, you're at max water fording depth.
Also know it's not your engine's air intake that's the concern. It's your axle breather tubes. If your warm axles are submerged in cold water those breather tubes are going to suck in air. They have caps to prevent water from getting in but if they're underwater, there's only so much they can do.
As others have said, in a hurricane flooding environment your primary concern is driving over/into underwater debris.
