With flooding, it's always important to keep safety top of mind.
FLOODING SAFETY
Remember to “Turn Around, Don’t Drown” when it comes to flooded roads. Just six inches of moving water can knock you down and one foot of moving water can sweep your vehicle away.
Make sure to stay off of bridges over fast-moving water.
