Did you know that flooding causes more deaths in the United States than any other thunderstorm-related hazard? More than 50% of flood-related deaths are due to someone driving or walking into floodwaters.

When you come to a road covered with water, it’s difficult to tell the depth of the water or the condition of the road underneath, especially at night. Two feet of water can sweep an SUV off the road. Just six inches of fast-moving floodwater can knock you off your feet.

Play it safe - “Turn Around, Don’t Drown”.
