...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 130 PM EDT FOR
MECKLENBURG COUNTY...

At 1138 AM EDT, with heavy tropical rainfall continuing to develop
and move into the warned area, accumulated rainfall amounts of 8 or
9 inches may be realized through early afternoon throughout greater
Matthews and Mint Hill.  Stream levels all across Greater Charlotte
continued to rise, and across Southeast Mecklenburg County, levels
are nearing the records.  A series and dangerous flood situation may

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Do not attempt to cross
water-covered roadways, bridges, or low-level crossings. Only a few
inches of rapidly flowing water can carry away your vehicle. It is
not worth the risk. Please TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN.
