However... all interested parties should take necessary precautions

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the

flooding when water begins rising.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.
