Instructions in this archived message
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. In hilly or mountainous terrain there are numerous low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Find an alternate route.
