HEAVY RAINS MAY CAUSE FLOODING IN OUR AREA - DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH STANDING WATER... 
The Anne Arundel County area is currently under a Flash Flood Watch:
"HEAVY RAINFALL OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WITH ISOLATED TOTALS UP TO 6 INCHES CAN BE EXPECTED. EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINS MAY LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING OF URBAN...LOW LYING AREAS AND SMALL STREAMS.
Turn Around Don’t Drown™ when you encounter a flooded road.
Be especially cautious when driving at night when it is harder to recognize flood dangers. It only takes 18 inches of water to lift your car or SUV. Once your vehicle becomes buoyant; the water will easily push it sideways. Most vehicles will then tend to roll over, trapping those inside and washing them downstream.
If you are driving and the road has water over it, you need to remember this simple saying: “Turn Around – Don’t Drown”. Never drive on a road with water covering it and never drive around barriers blocking a flooded road or it just may cost you your life.
