MONTGOMERY...SOUTHERN WILSON AND EASTERN CHAUTAUQUA COUNTIES...

AT 724 PM CDT...DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO INDICATE THUNDERSTORMS 
MOVING THROUGH THE WARNED AREA. SO FAR RAINFALL AMOUNTS...HAVE

HALF INCH OF RAIN POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT HOUR BEFORE ENDING. 

AT 724 PM CDT...LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT REPORTED STILL HAD SOME COUNTY 
ROADS THAT WERE FLOODED.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

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.
