Neither "the flood is half of the car" nor "the water is at the half of the car" makes sense. I am not completely certain what you are trying to say, but most probably it is something like "the flood water reaches halfway up the car".

The sentence is not right. You might say the following:

The water level in the street is at half the height of a car.

The cars in the street are half-submerged due to the flooding.
