* FLOOD WARNING FOR... LIMESTONE COUNTY IN NORTH CENTRAL ALABAMA...
* UNTIL 145 AM CST SUNDAY
* AT 743 PM CST...EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT REPORTED NUMEROUS ROADS WITH PONDING OF WATER WHICH WILL CREATE DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS TONIGHT OVER MUCH OF NORTH CENTRAL AND NORTH EAST ALABAMA. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE INCH ARE POSSIBLE IN THE WARNED AREA.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
