TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN

🚙 Never try to drive on flooded roads.
🚧 Never drive around “road closed” signs.
🌊 Don’t walk through floodwaters or play in rising creeks.

You can’t see:
📏 How deep the water is
🕳️ If there are ditches or uncovered manholes
🛞 If there is trash or debris in muddy water

⚠️ Stay safe & take a different route.
