Instructions:

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Excessive runoff from torrential rainfall is causing flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other drainage areas and low lying spots. This flooding may very well worsen as the torrential rainfall persists over parts of the area over the next hour or two.
