THE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 800 PM EDT FOR SHELBY…
FRANKLIN…SCOTT AND HARRISON COUNTIES…
CALLS TO LOCAL ROAD MAINTENANCE FACILITIES AND EMERGANCY MANAGERS
INDICATE THAT SEVERAL RURAL ROADS ARE IMPASSABLE DUE TO HIGH WATER
IN SHELBY AND FRANKLIN COUNTIES. IN HARRISON COUNTY…SEVERAL LOW
WATER CROSSINGS THAT NORMALLY FLOOD AFTER HEAVY RAIN ARE UNDER
WATER.
SCATTERED SHOWERS WILL DIMINISH LATER THIS AFTERNOON…BUT AN AREA
OF LIGHT RAIN WILL ARRIVE LATER THIS EVENING. ADDITIONAL RAIN
AMOUNTS OF AROUND ONE QUARTER TO ONE HALF INCH ARE LIKELY THROUGH
EARLY MORNING.
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.
TO REPORT FLOODING…HAVE THE NEAREST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY RELAY
YOUR REPORT TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE.
