  ALSO LIKELY IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE...AS WELL AS IN AREAS
  WHERE CULVERTS AND CATCH BASINS BECOME CLOGGED FROM FALLEN
  LEAVES. THESE FALLEN LEAVES WILL ALSO MAKE ROADWAYS SLIPPERY FOR
  MOTORISTS.

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAIN
...WHICH MAY LEAD TO FLOODING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS. IF YOU
ARE IN THE WATCH AREA...CHECK YOUR PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS. KEEP
INFORMED...AND BE READY FOR ACTION IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR IF A
FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.
