until 600 am central daylight time thursday/700 am eastern daylight time

widespread flooding and numerous road closures continue across
Much of the quad state region. Though the rain has come to an
End...runoff and backwater will continue to cause persistent or
Even worsening flooding conditions through the overnight hours.
This continues to be a very dangerous and potentially life
Threatening situation. Despite our urgent plea to avoid driving
Across water covered roads...we continue to see this happen with
This event. You may be putting your own and others lives at risk by
Making this dangerous choice. The water may either sweep your
Vehicle off the road...or the road itself may be washed out
Underneath the flowing water and you would never know it. Continue
To follow the guidance and direction of local law enforcement and
Emergency management officials during this flood emergency.
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.

It is very important to note that while the smaller creeks and

Never drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
Roadway. Flood waters are usually deeper than they appear. Just one
