Monroe and randolph counties...
At 631 pm central daylight time ...numerous roads and low water crossing
remain flooded
Throughout the areal flood warning area...with some locations where
The water is 2 to 3 feet deep and impassable.
A flood warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However...all interested parties should take necessary precautions
Immediately.
Additional rainfall amounts of one to three inches are possible in
The warned area through tomorrow morning.
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.
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
Dangers of flooding. If flooding is observed act quickly. Move up to
Higher ground to escape flood waters. Do not stay in areas subject to
Flooding when water begins rising.
In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
Potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to travel across
Flooded roads. Find alternate routes. It takes only a few inches of
Swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away.
To report flooding...have the nearest law enforcement agency relay
Your report to the national weather service forecast office.
