bent and Poor Mountain areas. Creeks and streams in the area will
continue to rise through this morning.

In Montgomery County... widespread flooding has been reported along
the north and south Forks of the Roanoke River... including the
Shawsville area... and also along Brush Creek in The Pilot area. In
Roanoke County... Bottom Creek... Mill Creek... and Back Creek are all
flooding. In addition... significant rises above flood stage are

counties... but streams are at bankfull and will likely come out of
their banks.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However... all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

Most flood deaths occur in automobiles. Never drive your vehicle into
areas where the water covers the roadway. Flood waters are usually
deeper than they appear. Just one foot of flowing water is powerful
enough to sweep vehicles off the Road. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams... highways and underpasses. Additionally... country
roads and farmlands along the banks of creeks... streams and other low
lying areas are subject to flooding.

Relay your reports of flooding to the National Weather Service in
Blacksburg by calling toll free... 1... 8 6 6... 2 1 5... 4 3 2 4.
