📋 Official instructions
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. Both localized and distant heavy rainfall will create sudden and dangerous flows in arroyos and over low water crossings.📄 Message details
