I/dQCYQUdu9Y8/s320/Bradley+-+car.jpg> There is a FLASH FLOOD Watch in
effect for the County today until mid-night tonight! County residents
are urged to be alert to changing weather conditions and should be
prepared for possible flash flooding over the next several hours as
storm systems may move into the area and could bring heavy rains. 

Flash floods more often occur in mountain streams, hilly areas or
low-lying areas.  But they do happen in urban and suburban areas like
Montgomery County, as well.  Flash floods can occur even though it's not
raining where you are.  It may be raining hard farther upstream and
raining so hard that the water can not be absorbed into the ground.

Last night, June 11, MCFRS responded to roughly 11 water-related
rescues!  Turn Around - Don't Drown!

Safety Tips: 

If a flash flood warning is issued, act immediately.  Don't wait for
high water to dictate your course of action. 

Know your location when you are driving.  If you needed rescue, would
you be able to direct emergency crews to your location?  Distracted
driving can lead to a situation where you are stranded and unable to
direct emergency crews to you.  Be alert! 

Never drive through a flooded road or bridge.  Turn Around - Don't Drown
and try an alternate route!  In many cases, it takes far less than a
foot of water to incapacitate a vehicle.  It may stall, leaving you
stranded, and depending on the level of water, you may not be able to
open a vehicle door.  Do not underestimate the power of moving water. 

Watch for flooding at bridges and dips in the road.  Never drive where
water is over bridges or roads. Turn around - Don't Drown!  The bridges
or the road could suddenly be washed out. If you're driving at night be
especially careful.  Often visibility is limited due to wind and rain. 

Often what you can't see below the surface of the water is far more
dangerous than the high levels of that water.  Remember that rocks, tree
limbs and other debris can be caught in moving water and can be
dangerous if you are forced to walk, wade or swim through flood waters. 

If you have to walk or wade through flood water, use a stick to poke the
ground in front of you with each step.  It can help you determine water
levels, the bottom surface and the safest possible way to get to higher
ground. 

Remember that flash floods can come without warning, and sometimes
without weather.  Be alert and heed all warnings and recommendations
from officials. From FEMA's website, some further information about
driving through flooded roadways:

*	Six inches of water will reach the bottom of most passenger cars
causing loss of control and possible stalling.
*	A foot of water will float many vehicles.  
*	Two feet of rushing water can carry away most vehicles including
sport utility vehicles (SUV's) and pick-ups

TURN AROUND - DON'T DROWN and try an alternate route!
