deaths occur in vehicles.



Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small

creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying

spots.



In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are

potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded

roads. Find an alternate route.



A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. All

interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately.
