🌧️⚠️ HIGH WATER WARNING ⚠️🌧️

With continued rain and the potential for flash flooding, please use extreme caution while traveling on our roadways.

🚧 Pooling water can quickly create dangerous driving conditions, especially at night when it is difficult to judge the depth of water covering the roadway.

❗If you approach high water:

➡️ Turn Around, Don’t Drown.

➡️ Never attempt to drive through flooded roadways.

➡️ Just a small amount of moving water can sweep a vehicle off the road.

➡️ Avoid barricaded roads and obey all road closure signs.

➡️ Slow down during heavy rain and increase following distance.

➡️ Keep your headlights on and avoid distracted driving.

Please continue to monitor weather conditions and use caution throughout the area. Your safety is our top priority.
