⚠️⚠️ Flash Flooding ⚠️⚠️

Roadways across the county and in the cities are all experiencing some level of Flash Flooding.

As of now, there does not seem to be any roadways closed BUT that can change quickly. Drive 🚗 safely and stay alert. Many of you are familiar with the areas you live in and know the same areas that flood first so be mindful. Slow down, expect delays and maybe even closures 🚧. Give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination!!

All of our county Law Enforcement, Fire Departments, EMA, Dispatch, School Officials, Public Works and utility crews are in touch with one another and monitoring so we can all try to bring you up-to-date information as we receive it.

If you come upon areas that are flooded and you can safely take a photo, feel free to post it here to share. Thanks!
