...THE SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 100 PM CDT
FOR SOUTHERN WAYNE COUNTY...

AT 1124 AM CDT...THE SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS OVER SOUTHERN WAYNE COUNTY
HAVE DECREASED IN INTENSITY OVER THE LAST SEVERAL HOURS...AND RAINFALL RATES
HAVE DROPPED OFF AS WELL. HOWEVER...SURFACE RUNOFF...FROM HEAVY RAINS
EARLIER THIS MORNING...WILL CONTINUE TO KEEP AREA STREAMS AND CREEKS RUNNING
AT...OR SLIGHTLY ABOVE...BANKFULL THROUGH 100 PM.

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.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE ELEVATED LEVELS ON
SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND PONDING OF WATER ON COUNTRY ROADS AND
FARMLAND ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS AND STREAMS.
