| AT 755 AM
EST...OFFICIALS REPORTED SEVERAL ROADS WERE
FLOODING AROUND THE COUNTIES. SOME BASEMENT
FLOODING ALSO WAS BEING REPORTED.
A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS
IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED. FLASH FLOODING IS
NOT EXPECTED. HOWEVER... ALL INTERESTED PARTIES
SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IMMEDIATELY.
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF AROUND
ONE-HALF INCH ARE EXPECTED THROUGH THE REST OF
THE MORNING...WHICH WOULD EXACERBATE THE
FLOODING PROBLEM.
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL
CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS AND
STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES.
ADDITIONALLY...URBAN... SUBURBAN AND COUNTRY
ROADS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS...STREAMS AND
OTHER LOW LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLOODING.
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE
THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH
MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. BE PREPARED TO MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND. |
