Clay County is currently under a travel advisory (yellow/lowest travel advisory) due to roadway flooding and the potential of debris on the roadway. I have received information from the 9-1-1 Dispatch Center that US 40 in the Knightsville area is flooded, as is State Road 42 near County Road 200 East. Please avoid these areas. Other roadways in Clay County are likely also experiencing flooding or will be soon. Please do not attempt to drive across flooded roadways.
