📋 Official instructions
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Arroyos, streams, and normally dry rivers can become raging killer currents in a matter of minutes. Water in arroyos can travel many miles and take hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas. Both localized and distant heavy rainfall will create sudden and dangerous flows in arroyos and over low water crossings.📄 Message details
