THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN NASHVILLE HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD WARNING FOR...
  SUMNER COUNTY IN TENNESSEE...
  THIS INCLUDES THE CITY OF GALLATIN...

* UNTIL 1000 AM CDT

* AT 402 AM CDT...A SLOW MOVING BAND OF THUNDERSTORMS WAS LOCATED OVER
NORTHERN SUMNER COUNTY...AND MOVING SLOWLY SOUTHEASTWARD. HEAVY RAINS WILL
CONTINUE TO TRAIN ACROSS MANY PARTS OF SUMNER COUNTY EARLY TODAY...AND
CREATE THE LIKELIHOOD OF FLOODING.

THE GROUND IS SATURATED ACROSS THE COUNTY...AND MANY AREA CREEKS AND
STREAMS ARE ALREADY RUNNING HIGH. THUS...ANY ADDITIONAL...AND PROLONGED
...HEAVY RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO RAPID RUN OFF AND RISING WATERS.

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.

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 DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
