A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAIN
ACROSS THE WATCH AREA... WHICH MAY LEAD TO FLOODING ALONG STREAMS
AND CREEKS. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS AND LIFE
THREATENING SITUATION. IF YOU ARE IN THE WATCH AREA... CHECK YOUR
PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS. KEEP INFORMED... AND BE READY TO TAKE
ACTION. IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR IF A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS
ISSUED... MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY. STAY AWAY FROM AREAS
WHERE WATER IS FLOWING... AND NEVER DRIVE THROUGH WATER.
