OVER MUCH OF DADE COUNTY AND HAD NOW MOVED INTO EASTERN BROWARD
COUNTY.  REPORTS OF FLOODING AND STANDING WATER HAVE BEEN RECEIVED
DURING THE PAST HOUR OR SO FROM VARIOUS SECTIONS OF THE DADE

PRESENT RADAR INDICATIONS OF THE TIMING AND EXTENT OF HEAVY

DADE COUNTY UNTIL 2 AM EDT.  ONE TO TWO INCH RAINS ARE STILL
LIKELY OVER THE AREA FOR THE NEXT COUPLE OF HOURS.
 
RESIDENTS IN METROPOLITAN BROWARD COUNTY SHOULD ALSO BE ALERT

MONITORING THE SITUATION AND WILL ISSUE ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS AND/

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 ABANDONED
QUICKLY.  MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
 
BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE
THE DANGERS OF FLOODS AND FLASH FLOODS.  DO NOT DRIVE INTO AREAS
OF PONDING WATER ON UNKNOWN DEPTH.  IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED,
ACT QUICKLY.  MOVE UP OR TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS.
DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.
