...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 115 AM CDT FOR
SOUTHERN OVERTON COUNTY...

AT 1130 PM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO
INDICATE FLASH FLOODING FROM THUNDERSTORMS MOVING SOUTHEAST AT 30
MPH ALONG AND SOUTH OF A HILHAM TO ROCKY RIDGE LINE. THESE
THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO PRODUCE HOURLY RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF UP TO
3 INCHES BETWEEN STATE ROAD 111 AND STATE ROAD 84 AND TOTAL RAINFALL
AMOUNTS OF UP TO 5.6 INCHES PER DOPPLER RADAR AND SATELLITE BASED
ESTIMATES IN THIS AREA ALSO.

OAK STREET IN THE CITY OF LIVINGSTON HAS BEEN CLOSED DUE TO
FLOODING. STATE ROUTE 42 IS IMPASSIBLE IN SOUTHERN PORTIONS OF THE
COUNTY DUE TO FLOODING ALSO. AN ADDITIONAL ONE TO TWO INCHES OF
RAINFALL IS EXPECTED OVER THESE AREAS IN THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.

THESE THUNDERSTORMS THAT HAVE PRODUCED THIS FLASH FLOODING WILL BE
NEAR CLIFF SPRINGS BY MIDNIGHT.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY
ROADS AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS...STREAMS AND OTHER LOW
LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLOODING.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE
UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

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.
