...THE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 730 AM EDT FOR SMALL
STREAMS IN NORTHWESTERN BUCKS COUNTY...

AT 606 AM EDT THE  EAST BRANCH OF THE PERKIOMEN WAS BEGINNING TO 
RECEDE AFTER THE 5AM CREST OF 4.6 FT...FOUR TENTHS OF A FOOT BELOW 
FLOOD STAGE. 

THE WARNING AREA HAS BEEN REDUCED BUT NOT COMPLETELY ABANDONED DUE 
TO HEAVY SHOWERS DEVELOPING NORTHWARD FROM MONTGOMERY COUNTY INTO 
THE NORTHWEST CORNER OF BUCKS COUNTY.  THIS MAY FORCE THE PERKIOMEN 
TO BEGIN RISING AGAIN AROUND 7 AM.  

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS IMMEDIATELY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
