...THE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL
415 PM CDT FOR WILSON...GILES...LAWRENCE...GRUNDY...LEWIS...

AT 1228 PM CDT...A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING THROUGH MIDDLE
TENNESSEE WAS PRODUCING INTENSE RAINFALL RATES OF UP TO 2 INCHES PER
HOUR...WITH STORM RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF AN INCH TO AN INCH AND A HALF.
THESE RAINFALL AMOUNTS...COUPLED WITH THE INTENSE RAINFALL RATES ARE
PRODUCING LOCALIZED PONDING OF WATER IN POOR DRAINAGE AREAS...AS
WELL AS CAUSING THE SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS TO RISE OUT OF THEIR
BANKS.

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.
