🚨SEVERE WEATHER ANNOUNCEMENT🚨

For the remainder of today, May 28th, 2026, Stone County is currently under a Flash Flood Warning with expected rainfall totals between 2–5 inches.

WFD urges everyone in our community to remain weather aware and take the necessary precautions to stay safe during this severe weather event.

⚠️ FLOOD SAFETY TIPS ⚠️

🏠 Seek Higher Ground:
If a flash flood warning is issued, immediately move to higher ground such as a hill or the upper floor of a sturdy building.

🚫 Avoid Attics:
Do not shelter in a closed attic where rising water could trap you. Only move to the roof if absolutely necessary and signal for help.

📢 Obey Evacuation Orders:
If local officials issue evacuation orders, leave immediately and follow recommended evacuation routes.

⚡ Electrical Safety:
Stay away from rooms where water has reached electrical outlets, appliances, or extension cords to avoid electrocution hazards.

🚗 SAFETY WHILE DRIVING 🚗

🔄 Turn Around, Don’t Drown:
Most flood-related deaths occur in vehicles. Never drive through flooded roadways.

🌊 Know the Danger:
As little as 12 inches of rushing water can carry away most vehicles, while 2 feet can sweep away larger SUVs and trucks.

🚘 Abandon Stalled Vehicles:
If your vehicle stalls in rapidly rising water, leave it immediately and move to higher ground.

🌉 Avoid Bridges:
Stay off bridges over fast-moving water, as they can fail or wash away without warning.

WFD will continue monitoring weather conditions throughout the day. Please stay alert, monitor local forecasts, and check on family members, neighbors, and those who may need assistance.
