What to do
Do not drive into flooded roads. The National Weather Service says to turn around, don't drown, because most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Never drive around barricades.
Move to higher ground if you are in a low-lying area or near a small creek or stream. Avoid underpasses and other places where water collects.
Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away. Stay out of floodwater on foot as well.
The warning runs until 3:45 PM EST. Check for updates, since the National Weather Service can extend or cancel a warning.
