* UNTIL 230 PM CDT MONDAY

THE BULK OF THE RAIN HAS ENDED FOR THE TIME. MORE THUNDERSTORMS WILL FORM THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...AND COULD LEAD TO A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FLOODING. SATURATED SOILS WILL RESULT IN EFFICIENT RUNOFF AND OVERLAND FLOW QUICKLY FILLING DRAINAGES AND STREAMS.
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. NIGHT TIME FLOODING IS PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS AS CONDITIONS ARE DIFFICULT TO IDENTIFY IN THE DARK.
BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS NEAR SWOLLEN STREAMS AND DRAINAGES AS THE BANKS MAYBE VERY UNSTABLE. TOO OFTEN CURIOSITY OF RUSHING WATER DISTRACTS FROM THE REAL DANGER. KEEP YOURSELF AND YOUR LOVED ONES SAFE...STAY AWAY FROM RUSHING WATERS
TO REPORT FLOODING...HAVE THE NEAREST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY RELAY YOUR REPORT TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE.
