Advisory

High water advisory - Water is covering roads in some low lying areas. Do NOT drive through high water. TURN AROUND, DON"T DROWN

Water is covering roads in the low lying areas where we usually see minor flooding in our county. Use caution when driving in those areas. Do NOT drive through standing or flowing water.

According to the National Weather Service, as little as six inches of fast-moving water can be enough to move a car, while a depth of one foot (12 inches) of rushing water can carry away most vehicles; two feet of rushing water can sweep away even large SUVs and trucks. 

If you come to an area that is covered with water, you will not know the depth of the water or the condition of the ground under the water. TURN AROUND, DON"T DROWN!
