LEVELS AND BE PREPARED TO MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IF FLOODING OCCURS.

UNLIKE THE EVENTS OF LAST SEPTEMBER AND APRIL, FLOODING IS NOT

NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS, THE WATER MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU 
THINK IT IS.

ALONG WITH THE HEAVY RAIN THERE WILL BE SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS.  
THE THUNDERSTORMS COULD BE ACCOMPANIED BY FREQUENT CLOUD TO GROUND 
LIGHTNING AND BRIEF WIND GUSTS TO PERHAPS 30 OR 40 MPH.
