UNTIL ANOTHER COUPLE OF INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN.  SOME SPOTS IN
WALTHALL COUNTY NEAR TYLERTOWN HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED 5 INCHES OF
RAIN...ALTHOUGH NO FLOODING IS REPORTED THERE YET.  SOME MINOR STREET
FLOODING HAS OCCURRED IN MCCOMB IN PIKE COUNTY...BUT NOTHING SERIOUS

HOURS.  PEOPLE SHOULD WATCH SMALL STREAMS...AND BE CAREFUL WHEN
APPROACHING LOW PLACES IN ROADWAYS.
 
 
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.  VEHICLES CAUGHT IN RISING WATER SHOULD BE
