PLEASE USE EXTREME CAUTION! I want to caution everyone to take extra care when traveling in addition to the ponding of water on the roadways low lying areas may become impassible due to rising water. Please use extreme caution! Flooding Safety PLEASE USE CAUTION - TURN AROUND! Follow these safety rules: ■ If flooding occurs, get to higher ground. Stay away from flood-prone areas, including dips, low spots, valleys, ditches, washes, etc. ■ Avoid flooded areas or those with rapid water flow. Do not attempt to cross a flowing stream. It takes only six inches of fast flowing water to sweep you off your feet. ■ Don’t allow children to play near high water, storm drains or ditches. Hidden dangers could lie beneath the water. ■ Flooded roads could have significant damage hidden by floodwaters. NEVER drive through floodwaters or on flooded roads. If your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately and seek higher ground. WATER ONLY 2 FEET DEEP CAN FLOAT AWAY MOST AUTOMOBILES. ■ Do not camp or park your vehicle along streams and wash- es, particularly when threatening conditions exist. ■ Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize flood dangers. ■ Monitor NOAA Weather Radio or your local media for vital weather related information.
