PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

Do not attempt to drive on flooded roads. It takes little water to
move a vehicle off the road and into deeper water. Also, the road
bed may not be intact below flood waters.
