*****THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN PADUCAH HAS ISSUED A * SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY FOR... SOUTHERN BUTLER COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST MISSOURI... * UNTIL 800 AM CDT. * AT 458 AM CDT... DOPPLER RADAR ESTIMATED OVER 2 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN DURING THE PAST HOUR OR SO. THE HEAVIEST RAINS HAVE NOW MOVED SOUTHEAST INTO ARKANSAS... BUT ADDITIONAL LIGHT TO MODERATE RAINFALL WILL LIKELY CONTINUE INTO THE DAYLIGHT HOURS. 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.
