WERE STILL RISING. THAT INCLUDED THE TOMS RIVER WHICH AT 630 PM WAS 
WITHIN 2 INCHES OF FLOOD STAGE. THE NORTH BRANCH OF THE METEDECONK 
AT LAKEWOOD WAS RISING STEADILY AS WAS THE SWIMMING RIVER AT 
RED BANK.  

THE WARNING FOR MONMOUTH AND OCEAN COUNTIES WILL PROBABLY EXTENDED

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.
