THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN LEAGUE CITY HAS ISSUED A FLOOD ADVISORY FOR HARRIS COUNTY IN SOUTHEAST TEXAS UNTIL 345 PM CDT
AT 246 PM CDT...DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED HEAVY RAIN DUE TO THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS EASTERN HARRIS COUNTY. RAINFALL RATES OF 1.5 INCHES PER 15 MINUTES HAVE BEEN OBSERVED WITH SOME OF THESE STORMS. EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE MOVING...RATES THIS HIGH WILL CAUSE MINOR STREET FLOODING.

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.
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE PONDING OF WATER IN URBAN AREAS...HIGHWAYS...STREETS AND UNDERPASSES AS WELL AS OTHER POOR DRAINAGE AREAS AND LOW LYING SPOTS. 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.
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
