Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Arroyos, streams, and normally dry rivers can become raging killer currents in a matter of minutes. Water in arroyos can travel many miles and take hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas. The heavy rainfall and slow movement of these storms will result in flooding of road intersections, low lying areas and normally dry arroyos. && LAT...LON 3381 10427 3357 10425 3346 10420 3336 10418 3326 10408 3316 10408 3303 10414 3297 10413 3297 10418 3296 10433 3324 10442 3331 10437 3345 10440 3366 10448 3406 10453 3405 10430 $$ MA
