RAINFALL HAS MOVED OUT OF THE AREA THIS MORNING. CONTINUE TO MONITOR
CREEKS AND STREAMS AS ICE AND SNOW CONTINUE TO MELT AND WATER MAY
CONTINUE TO RISE. SOME ROADS HAVE BECOME COVERED WITH WATER DUE TO
THE POOR DRAINING CONDITIONS...SO BE ALERT WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH
THE MORNING HOURS TODAY.

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.
