COUNTIES...

AT 842 PM EDT THE WISSAHICKON CREEK REMAINED ABOVE FLOOD STAGE 
DOWNSTREAM OF FORT WASHINGTON. THE WISSAHICKON CREEK WILL CONTINUE

HOWEVER...ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS
IMMEDIATELY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.
