LAWRENCE...EASTERN WAYNE...SOUTHERN LEWIS...MARSHALL AND SOUTHERN
MAURY COUNTIES...

AT 121 PM CDT...MODERATE RAINFALL CONTINUED OVER MUCH OF THE WARNING
AREA. RADAR AND SPOTTER REPORTS INDICATE 3 TO 5 INCHES OF RAIN HAS
FALLEN IN MAY AREAS SO FAR TODAY. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL THIS AFTERNOON
WILL CONTINUE TO BRING FLOODING PROBLEMS...INCLUDING WATER COVERED
ROADS.

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
HOWEVER...ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS
IMMEDIATELY.

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.
