* AT 1041 AM EDT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED    
  AREAS OF HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH A LINE OF THUNDERSTORMS MOVING 
  INTO EASTERN PENNSYLVANIA AND WESTERN NEW JERSEY FROM THE WEST.    
  RAINFALL RATES EXCEEDING ONE INCH PER HOUR WERE REPORTED IN SOME   
  POCKETS OF HEAVIER RAIN. FLOODED ROADWAYS AND POOR DRAINAGE        
  FLOODING CAN BE EXPECTED WHEREVER THE HEAVIEST RAIN HAPPENS        
  TO OCCUR.
 
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.

A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS RIVER OR STREAM FLOWS ARE ELEVATED OR PONDING
OF WATER IN URBAN OR OTHER AREAS IS OCCURRING OR IS IMMINENT.
