LOCALLY HEAVY RAINFALL IN THE ADVISORY AREA. IN ADDITION...EXCESSIVE
RUNOFF FROM PREVIOUS RAINFALL HAS CAUSED MINOR FLOODING OF CREEKS
AND STREAMS...ROADS AND HIGHWAYS. THEREFORE...THE URBAN AND SMALL
STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 715 PM AST.

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. MOVE TO
HIGHER GROUND.
