🚨 SEVERE FLOODING – PLEASE USE CAUTION 🚨

The Fritch Police Department is advising motorists of severe flooding in several areas around the city.

🌊 Eagle Blvd. and N. Canadian Dr. are experiencing significant flooding. Please avoid this area if at all possible.

🏫 For those traveling toward the school: As of 2:00 AM, Bost Ave. is clear and is currently the best route to use.

Please also use caution in our usual flood-prone locations, including the 200 block of East Broadway and the intersection of Cornell Ave. and West Broadway, where flooding is also occurring.

⚠️ TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN! Never underestimate the depth or strength of moving water. If your vehicle has low ground clearance, do not attempt to drive through flooded areas.

If you do enter standing water and determine it is safe enough to continue, keep moving steadily and avoid stopping in the water, as stopping can increase the risk of your vehicle stalling.

Please slow down, use caution, and allow yourself extra time this morning. No destination is worth risking your safety or the safety of first responders.
