Precautionary/preparedness actions...
This heavy rainfall will result in significant ponding of water on area roads and in low spots. Slow down to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. If water covers the entire roadway or is flowing... find another Route. The water is probably much deeper than it appears and only one foot of water can stall a vehicle. When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown.
