⚠️ URGENT: WIDESPREAD FLOODING & ROAD CONDITIONS ⚠️

Our area is currently experiencing significant flooding. We are asking all drivers to exercise extreme caution and avoid travel if possible.

If you must be on the roads, please remember:

Turn Around, Don't Drown: Never attempt to drive through standing water. It only takes a few inches of rapidly moving water to sweep a vehicle off the road.

Expect Hidden Hazards: Standing water can hide massive potholes, washed-out pavement, trees that have fallen, and dangerous debris.

Turn on Your Headlights: Help other drivers see you in heavy rain and low-visibility conditions.

Do Not Bypass Barriers: Road closure signs and barricades are put up for your safety. Do not drive around them.

Located and safe
