What to do
Do not drive through flooded roads. The National Weather Service says most flood deaths occur in vehicles, and just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down. One foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.
Be extra careful in the dark. Flooding is harder to see at night. Never drive around barricades.
Move to higher ground if water is rising near you. Stay away from small creeks and streams, underpasses and low-lying areas, which the warning says can flood quickly.
Check road conditions before you travel. The warning covers places including Titusville, Mims, Port Saint John, Scottsmoor and Merritt Island Wildlife Refuge.
