What to do
Do not drive on flooded roads. The National Weather Service says most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Turn around and find another route.
Be extra careful in the dark, when flood dangers are harder to see. Never drive around barricades.
If water is rising near you, move to higher ground. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.
Stay aware of your surroundings until the warning ends at 7:45 AM EST, and follow updates from the National Weather Service.
