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. Do not stay in areas subject to flooding when
water begins rising.
Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.
Please report flooding by calling 757-899-2415, posting to the NWS
