1113 PM EDT FRI SEP 23 2011

...THE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1130 PM EDT FOR URBAN
AREAS AND SMALL STREAMS IN MONTGOMERY AND CHESTER COUNTIES...

AT 1109 PM EDT RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAIN IS CONTINUING TO PRODUCE 
FLOODING ALONG THE VALLEY CREEK, SECTIONS OF THE WEST BRANCH OF THE 
BRANDYWINE CREEK AND NEAR THE SOURCE OF THE PERKIOMEN CREEK IN 
MONTGOMERY COUNTY. ADDITIONAL UNGAGED SMALLER STREAMS ARE LIKELY 
ALSO FLOODING. WHILE THE HEAVY RAIN IS OVER, THE RUNOFF HAS TO 
MOVE THROUGH THE STREAMS IN THE AREA.

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS OCCURRING. STREAM RISES WILL 
BE SLOW AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED. HOWEVER...ALL INTERESTED 
PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IMMEDIATELY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE UP TO
HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS SUBJECT TO
FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
