...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 330 PM CDT FOR
GREENE AND HALE COUNTIES...

At 109 PM CDT, Emergency Management as well as social media reports
confirm that flooding is still ongoing across Greene and Hale
counties with multiple roadways deemed impassible. Runoff from
previous heavy rainfall this morning will continue to cause streams
and creeks to overflow their banks. Therefore, the Flash Flood
Warning will remain in effect.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Eutaw, Greensboro, Moundville, Forkland, Akron, Boligee, Union, Epes,
Newbern, Walden Quarters, West Greene, Thornhill, Arcola, Wedgeworth,
Tishabee, Greensboro Municipal Airport, New West Greene, Allison,
Duffys Bend and Sawyerville.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become
unstable and unsafe.
