Winter is coming and sometimes I encounter a flooded street. Do I have to worry with the Prius? Is there an electrical danger? Is there a recommended level over which to worry (ie. mid tire or so).

Yes, it's dangerous to drive any car through flowing water. If water is against the side of the vehicle it can push the car off the road. I have seen a prius drive through water nearly to the top of the wheels but I wouldn't recommend it.
