THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN NASHVILLE HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
  WHITE COUNTY IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...
  THIS INCLUDES THE CITY OF SPARTA...

* UNTIL 115 AM CDT

* AT 1049 PM CDT...RADAR CONTINUED TO INDICATE SCATTERED TO NUMEROUS
SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER AND NEAR THE ADVISORY AREA. GIVEN THE
LARGE AMOUNTS OF RAINFALL OVER THE LAST 24 TO 36 HOURS...ANY
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL ONLY ACT TO ENHANCE THE POTENTIAL FOR
FLOODING ACROSS THE AREA.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

DO NOT UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF FLOOD WATERS. ONLY A FEW INCHES OF
RAPIDLY FLOWING WATER CAN QUICKLY CARRY AWAY YOUR VEHICLE.
