FLASH FLOOD WARNING
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE MOBILE AL
108 AM CST SUN MAR 8 1998

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN MOBILE AL HAS ISSUED A
FLASH FLOOD WARNING EFFECTIVE UNTIL 310 AM CST
FOR PEOPLE IN THE FOLLOWING LOCATIONS...

IN SOUTHWESTERN ALABAMA

   ...ESCAMBIA COUNTY
   ...CONECUH COUNTY

HEAVY RAINS OF TWO TO THREE INCHES HAS OCCURRED ALONG AND EAST OF
I-65 SINCE 10 PM.  AN ADDITIONAL ONE TO TWO INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE
THROUGH 3 AM.


BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODS AND FLASH FLOODS. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED...
ACT QUICKLY. MOVE UP TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING. IT IS VERY DIFFICULT
AT NIGHT TO TELL HOW MUCH WATER IS ON ROADS. MOTORISTS SHOULD NOT
DRIVE THROUGH WATER OF UNKNOWN DEPTH.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO
CROSS SAFELY AND THE ROAD BENEATH MAY NOT BE INTACT. VEHICLES
CAUGHT IN RISING WATER SHOULD BE ABANDONED QUICKLY. IT ONLY TAKES
A FOOT OR TWO OF FLOWING WATER TO WASH MOST CARS AWAY. REMEMBER...
MOST DEATHS IN FLASH FLOODING OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES.
