PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Dangerous flooding from heavy rainfall can be expected, especially
near poor drainage areas and other flood prone locations. It is
harder to recognize flood dangers at night, as it will be difficult
to determine the depth of the water. Roads may be damaged or washed
away. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. If flooding is observed,
then turn around, don`t drown.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause dangerous flooding,
especially near creeks and streams, drainage ditches, and low-lying
flood prone areas. Turn around, don`t drown if you encounter a
flooded road. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Stay away from
storm drains, culverts, creeks, and streams. Water levels can rise
rapidly and sweep you away.
