What to do
Do not drive into flooded roads. The National Weather Service says most flood deaths occur in vehicles. If you come to water over the road, turn around and find another route.
Never drive around barricades. Just 6 inches of moving water can knock you down, and 1 foot of moving water can sweep a vehicle away.
Move to higher ground if you are near creeks, streams, underpasses or other low spots. Stay aware of your surroundings until the warning ends at 9:45 PM PDT.
Check road conditions before you travel and follow local emergency officials if they give other instructions.
