📋 Official instructions
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Even 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock you off your feet and a depth of 2 feet will float your car. Never try to walk, swim, or drive through such swift water. If you come upon flood waters, stop, turn around and go another way. Be alert and continue to monitor the forecast for updates. Additional information is available at www.weather.gov/abq. The next statement will be issued this evening at 930 PM MST.📄 Message details
