Flood Watch

The area is in a flood watch until 10:00pm tonight.  If you see a flooded road or see a road closed with barricades, Turn Around, Don't Drown!

? Flood Safety Reminder ?
Heavy rain and rising waters can turn a normal drive into a life-threatening situation. If you see a flooded road — Turn Around, Don’t Drown!
?️ Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down
? 12 inches can sweep your car away
? Floodwaters are often deeper and faster than they look — and may hide downed power lines or road damage
✅ Stay safe:
Never drive through flooded roads
Avoid walking through moving water
Stay updated with weather alerts and local emergency info
Your life is worth more than the risk. Stay alert, stay safe, and remember:
?Turn Around, Don’t Drown!?
