SALLE COUNTY...



...A FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR LA SALLE COUNTY...



LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICIALS REPORTED DEEP WATER OVER PORTIONS OF 

LA SALLE COUNTY. ALTHOUGH MOST OF THE HEAVY RAIN HAS MOVED OUT OF 

THE AREA...WATER WILL TAKE TIME TO RECEDE AND RESIDENTS ARE 

ENCOURAGED NOT TO DRIVE UNTIL THE WATERS RECEDE. 



LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO ARTESIA 

WELLS...FORT EWELL SITE...FOWLERTON...GARDENDALE...LOS ANGELES AND 

MILLET. 



THE FLOOD WARNING MAY NEED TO BE EXTENDED AGAIN AS FLOOD WATERS MAY 

STILL NEED TIME TO RECEDE. 



PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...



BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE

DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE

UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS

SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.



DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE

ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS

SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.



MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO

AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY

DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL

ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED

ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
