Instructions:

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads. Find an alternate route. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. It takes only a few inches of swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away. Move to higher ground as it is difficult to determine the depth of the water, especially at night. Please report observed flooding to local emergency services or law enforcement and request they pass this information to the National Weather Service when you can do so safely. You can report Severe Weather to the National Weather Service by calling toll free, 800 401 9535, when you can do so safely. You may also report severe weather by posting your report to the Charleston West Virginia National Weather Service Facebook Page, or by using the Twitter Hashtag, NWSRLX.
