widespread flooding and road closures continue across much of the
Quad state region. Runoff...backwater and some breached levees will
Continue to cause persistent flooding conditions overnight.

Drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway.
When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice...turn
Around...don't drown.
Do not drive through flowing water. Nearly half of all flood
Fatalities are vehicle related. As little as 6 inches of water may
Cause you to lose control of your vehicle. Two feet of water will
Carry most vehicles away.

Covers roadways! The water may be deeper than it appears. Please use
Extreme caution if venturing near riverbanks. Move to higher ground
Immediately should rising water threaten your safety. Remember...turn
