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.

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT...OR YOU CAN ALSO CALL THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE IN JACKSONVILLE DIRECTLY AT 800-499-1594 TO REPORT FLOODING.
