What to do
Do not drive on flooded roads. The National Weather Service says to turn around, don't drown, because most flood deaths occur in vehicles.
Move to higher ground if water is rising near you. Never drive around barricades or into flooded roads, and stay away from creeks, streams and underpasses.
Be aware of your surroundings while the warning lasts. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.
