THE HEAVY RAIN WAS COMING TO AN END AS SANDY'S FORWARD SPEED 
INCREASED. STILL...SURFACE OBSERVATIONS AND DOPPLER RADAR ESTIMATES 
INDICATED THAT 2 TO 4 INCHES OF RAIN HAD FALLEN ACROSS THE AREA. 
EVEN WITH THE HEAVY RAIN COMING TO AN END, THE FLOOD WARNING HAS 
BEEN EXTENDED, AS IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME FOR THE EXISTING RAINFALL 
TO DRAIN. 

* STREAMS, CREEKS AND RIVERS IN THE AREA CONTINUE TO RISE. THE       
  ADDITIONAL RAINFALL WILL PUSH STREAMS, CREEKS AND RIVERS OUT OF    
  THEIR BANKS.

* FLOODING IS EXPECTED IN AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE. ROADWAY FLOODING 
  IS ALSO ANTICIPATED. DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS...AS THE 
  WATER MAY BE DEEPER THAN YOU THINK IT IS. IF YOU LIVE IN A FLOOD 
  PRONE AREA...BE PREPARED TO MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY
ROADS AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS...STREAMS AND OTHER LOW
LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLOODING.

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.

DRIVING INTO FLOOD WATERS COULD PUT YOUR LIFE AT RISK AND COST YOU
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN VEHICLE REPAIRS. FLOOD WATERS MAY BE DEEPER
THAN YOU THINK. TURN AROUND AND FIND AN ALTERNATE ROUTE.
