...THE FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY CONTINUES UNTIL 315 AM EDT FOR THE
WINDHAM AREA...

...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 315 AM EDT FOR
SOUTH CENTRAL TIOGA AND NORTHEASTERN BRADFORD COUNTIES...

At 243 AM EDT, emergency management reported flash flooding and road
closures throughout the warning area due to the 1 to 4 inches of
heavy rainfall that has fallen.

Flood waters are moving down Wappasening Creek from Windham to
Nichols, with water reaching homes. Russell Run, Prince Hollow Run,
Babcock Run, and Little Falls Creek are also likely experiencing
flooding.

Numerous road closures and water rescues have occurred and some
evacuations.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Windham, Nichols, and just east of Litchfield. The Windham area has
been especially hard hit and remains under a Flash Flood Emergency.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Move to higher ground now. This is an extremely dangerous and
life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are
fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order.

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
