  THIS INCLUDES THE CITY OF LAWRENCEBURG...
  SOUTHEASTERN WAYNE COUNTY IN TENNESSEE...

* UNTIL 100 PM CDT

* AT 1003 AM CDT...HEAVY SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE MOVING
THROUGH THE ADVISORY AREA. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF BETWEEN 1 AND 2
INCHES ARE ESTIMATED BY THE RADAR TO HAVE FALLEN OVER MUCH OF WAYNE
COUNTY. GIVEN THE SLOW MOVING NATURE OF THE STORMS...RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF CLOSE TO 2 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE ACROSS LAWRENCE AND
GILES COUNTIES AS WELL. MINOR FLOODING OF LOW LYING CREEKS AND
STREAMS...AS WELL AS FLOOD PRONE ROADWAYS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS RIVER OR STREAM FLOWS ARE ELEVATED OR PONDING
OF WATER IN URBAN OR OTHER AREAS IS OCCURRING OR IS IMMINENT.
