WAKEFIELD...ST. FRANCISVILLE...SPILLMAN...NORWOOD...NEW 
ROADS...MORGANZA...LOTTIE...LIVONIA...JACKSON...ERWINVILLE...WOODVILL

DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATION ESTIMATES SUGGEST 
THAT 7 TO 12 INCHES OF RAIN HAS FALLEN IN AN AREA FROM NEAR SAINT 
FRANCISVILLE THROUGH NEW ROADS AND NEAR LIVONIA. 

WITH MORE RAIN BANDS WORKING IN OVER THE AREA...ADDITIONAL RAINFALLS 
OF 3 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN COULD FALL IN THE WARNING AREA. 

THERE IS THE POTENTIAL FOR STORM TOTAL PRECIPITATIONS TO RANGE FROM 
10 TO 18 INCHES THROUGH LATE THIS MORNING. THIS WILL EXACERBATE  
FLOODING PROBLEMS OVER CREEKS...STREAMS...LOW LYING AND POOR DRAINAGE 
AREAS.    

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.
